The Avon Volunteer Fire Department, via Town Representative Jim Speich, reported on a major public campaign to build support for fire station renovation projects totaling approximately 50000000. A Town-produced news bulletin explaining the renovation project, with an enclosed questionnaire for residents, will be mailed in early autumn with responses due by October 9, 2026, and the projects are expected to be bonded over 20 years as the largest capital improvement in the Town’s history. This shows the Town and AVFD are still in the planning and public-engagement phase for a multi-station renovation program, prior to detailed design, construction procurement, and fit-out purchases.Vendors in architecture, engineering, construction, public safety facility design, IT/communications, station alerting, exhaust systems, furniture/fixtures, and apparatus bay equipment can begin positioning now by sharing relevant fire facility expertise and helping shape scope and budget assumptions before formal RFPs are issued.

Communications Group is producing wallet cards and videos to unify messaging and drive residents to an AVFD renovation project web page, underscoring an organized, multi-channel outreach effort ahead of funding and procurement steps.
