BOS Advances Plans for Downtown Facilities Upgrades By Aaron Rubin Staff Writer
At its July 10 meeting, the Board of Selectmen (BOS) approved contracts to address parking and space needs for multiple town departments at two properties in the downtown district. The first property discussed was 52
Church Street, located adjacent to the Guilford Community Center. Long considered by town officials for redevelopment, the BOS approved a $48,500 contract with Silver Petrucelli for architectural design and consultation services to explore options for additional parking and storage for the Parks and Recreation Department. “There’s demand that exceeds availability
for parking throughout the greater downtown, including at the community center, which is, on any given day, hosting many, many seniors,” said First Selectman Matt Hoey. Town Engineer Janice Plaziak said the planning phase will begin later this month. See BOS Advances Plans page 11
