New Street Signs Coming
|
Have you noticed? The Town is gradually replacing its street name signs to meet modern standards. Many have already been changed, and this batch, created by the Highway Department’s sign-maker, was photographed in November stored neatly next to the Highway Garage on Ffyler Place. They are to be installed when time and conditions permit.

As reported in the First Selectman’s updates to the Board of Selectmen, the project to renovate Suffield’s 58-year-old Town Hall seemed to be moving forward smoothly with expected costs still within the budget authorized. Now Project Manager Gilbane Building has received construction drawings from architects QA&M and has received guaranteed maximum price bids from sub-contractors.
