BETHEL – The Board of Selectmen is holding a public hearing Monday on two referendum questions voters will face in November.
The hearing begins at 7 p.m. at the Bethel Town Office.
Town Clerk Christen Mason said residents will learn about the town’s plan to build an addition to the Main Street ambulance barn for up to $150,000. The money would come from the town’s undesignated fund balance.
A vote on the same question came out as a tie during the June elections, requiring a second vote.
Mason said the Bethel Ambulance Service needs more space. The current facility houses two ambulances and a small training room. The addition would include space for a director’s office and a sleeping area.
The second item, if approved, would relocate a portion of the Taylor Smith Road entrance on Route 26. Mason said the current entrance provides poor sight distance.
The cost would be about $8,000. She said an adjacent landowner has offered to swap a piece of his land for the portion of the Taylor Smith Road that would be replaced. Local contractors and businesses have offered to donate most of the materials needed for the project.
