Litchfield:

Rotary seeks space

to honor founder

Selectmen have considered a request by Rotary International for the use of a portion of the municipal building.

Rotary International seeks to convert a portion of the building that houses the town offices into a family history center operated by the Litchfield Historical Society. Rotary would invest between $50,000 and $75,000 in the building, Town Manager Steve Musica said.

The late Hiram Elmer Shorey, one of the founders of Rotary International, was born in Litchfield and lived in the town for several years. Rotary seeks approval, construction and completion by July.

Litchfield:

Revaluation may be in the cards for town

The town may conduct a revaluation of property due to increases in real estate values, especially for lakefront parcels.

Town Manager Steve Musica said the town last had a revaluation done in 1995. The gap between assessed values and recent sale prices is too wide. He said he expects to Board of Selectmen to consider a new revaluation at an upcoming meeting.
