prior efforts to improve the wilton police department building
- 1996 - 2000 A study of the municipal campus (Town Hall, Annex, Police Department, Fire Department, Emergency Medical Service, Public Works, Animal Shelter and salt shed) was initiated by the First Selectman. Multiple architects were engaged.
- 2000 - 2002 "$500,000 for architectural, engineering and other professional services related to alteration, expansion and reconfiguration of the Town Hall Complex, Comstock Community Center, and evaluation of options for the relocation of the Board of Education Central Office" was approved at the May 2000 Annual Town Meeting (Yes votes-1,038 No-679). Feasibility subcommittee formed, new architects engaged, variance for additional coverage of the campus was received from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
- 2004 A proposed site plan for an expanded and renovated municipal campus [which included an addition to the WPD] was presented to the town. "A resolution appropriating $260,000 to continue the planning and design of the municipal campus expansion..." was defeated by voters at the May Annual Town Meeting (No votes-1,132 Yes-959). Further discussions re improvement of those buildings stopped at that time.
- 2012 - 2013 Discussions arose again and a Facility Report (Sep 10, 2012) was produced by the WPD. A Space Needs Assessment for the Wilton Police Department (Sep 2013) and cost estimate were produced by Jacunski Humes Architects
- 2014 Other capital projects were prioritized by the Board of Selectmen and put forward in referendums: Comstock Community Center (May - Annual Town Meeting), Miller-Driscoll School (September - Special Town Meeting)
