Special Town Meeting scheduled in New Milford on ARPA projects

A Special Town Meeting will be held on Tuesday in New Milford for residents to weigh in on spending some of the town's American Rescue Plan Act funds.  $5.8 million of the $7.9 million in federal pandemic relief funds allocated to the town has been spent.  Residents will now be deciding on another $1.9 million, approved by the Board of Finance and Town Council.  The vote Tuesday is in the E Paul Martin Room of New Milford Town Hall at 6:30pm.  $500,000 is being set aside for future expenses related to COVID-19.  $100,000 would go to a new roof at the VFW hall, $136,000 for sewer abatement allowing for a moratorium on connection fees for the sewer plant, and $38,000 for a sewer camera.  Among the other big projects: work on 4 bridges.  There's $600,000 for Cherniske Bridge, $150,000 for Lovers Leap Bridge, $126,000 for Harrybrooke Park Bridge and $125,000 for Boardman Bridge.  The remaining spending in this round is for Water Witch Hose, a library maker space, medical kits and addiction services.  If approved Tuesday, New Milford would have about $200,000 remaining to be allocated.
