From the meeting
At its October 21, 2026 meeting, the Board of Selectmen planned to authorize the Town to apply for a State of Connecticut Historic Restoration Fund Grant for an ADA compliant ramp to the Town Unit at Centerbrook Meetinghouse. The item was tied to attached easements, so the application depended on those property rights being in place. This is a grant-funded accessibility project, and the next decision point is the Town's vote on whether to submit the application.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
