Several capital items on Ridgefield budget ballot

The Ridgefield budget referendum is today, including several capital item bonding questions.  One is about $437,854 for East Ridge Middle School auditorium lighting upgrades and school district-wide replacement of orchestra and band instruments.  Another is $615,812 in funding for Annex Building interior flooring, Highway Garage roof replacement and Playhouse fire suppression.  One question asks about $1.39 million for East Ridge Middle School LED lighting upgrades, school district-wide network infrastructure upgrades, Barlow Mountain Elementary oil tank removal and replacement, and Branchville Elementary School asbestos abatement and floor re-tiling.  Anticipated Eversource rebates of about $92,000 for the lighting will offset some of the cost.  Another question asks for $538,750 for tennis, basketball and pickleball court replacement, and Rec Center updates including gym floors and pads.  Another is $1.6 million dollars for road and ADA improvements.  Residents are also being asked about $1.8 million for a fire mini attack pumper, a Mack dump truck, sidewalk improvements and construction of tertiary roads.  The bond amount would be reduced by the amount of any grants received, anticipated at $150,000 for sidewalk improvements.
