Established in December 2016, Wilton's Police HQ-Town Hall Campus Study Committee was asked to pick up the mantle of exploring a new or renovated/expanded building for the Wilton Police Department, a project that had been discussed by the town for more than twenty years.

The committee was tasked with studying the deficiencies and needs of the WPD and two other town buildings, Town Hall and the Annex, as well as assessing the unfinished and underutilized space at Comstock Community Center.

In February 2018 the Study Committee transitioned to a Building Committee and additional committee members were appointed to move forward in developing the group's preliminary work.

The Building Committee will recommend solutions to the Board of Selectmen that it believes will be most cost effective in improving the functionality of the WPD and other town departments while optimizing space in town-owned facilities.

The Police-Town Hall Building Committee is committed to carrying out its work in a transparent, responsible and fiscally prudent manner. To that end:

- WPDTownHallProject.org was launched in March 2018 as the Building Committee phase began, to help inform the public of the genuine needs of the project and of the committee's efforts. Content will be added on an ongoing basis.

- The project is being advised by Wilton's Director of Public Works & Facilities, an objective professional with comprehensive construction knowledge and experience who works in the best interest of the town, assisted by Colliers International who has been hired as the Owner's Project Manager for Phase I of the project.

- The deficiencies of the buildings and needs of the departments, town and community will be verified, documented and updated throughout the project.
