One of the primary issues with our antiquated buildings is an inability to accommodate modern technology efficiently, which can lead to communication delays, equipment malfunctions, and overall slower response times during emergencies. Neither headquarters building is fully ADA accessible, as is common with century-old buildings. The safety hazards from the outdated utilities and building structures also potentially compromise the health and well-being of our First Responders. In addition, the need for constant repairs and the maintenance necessary to keep these old buildings functional poses a significant financial burden to the Town. The need for new facilities is undeniable.
