To Buy or Not to Buy . . . .
|
That is the question currently being asked about the street lights in Suffield. The Town is in the process of determining if it makes good fiscal sense to purchase them from Eversource. To answer that question, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued and a number of qualified companies responded. The Town contracted with ECG Engineers to represent their interests in the project. They work with towns and schools in support of self-funded Energy Performance Contract (EPC) energy and cost savings projects.

East Street Paved, Finally
|
By the end of September, the last visible task of the Connecticut DOT’s East Street paving project appeared to be complete. That was the task of rebuilding the little black-topped traffic island at the Enfield-Suffield bridge traffic light, separating northbound cars from left-turning traffic off the bridge. The bridge, incidentally, for almost 50 years carried two large bronze plaques reading “Enfield-Suffield Veterans Bridge,” but the plaques disappeared in the major rework of 2010, which included new parapets. Last spring, the milling and paving began, as most such projects do, with the renovation of the catch basins. But work came to a stop, probably for lack of funding to continue in that fiscal year.

Election season is a great time of year to ‘check in’ with how our town is being run. What is working? What could be better? Are we growing in a positive way? Are we being run effectively?
