Avon Moves Forward With New Emergency Communications Deal

Press release from the Town of Avon:

AVON, CT — The Avon Town Council earlier this month authorized the town manager's office to enter into an agreement with the state Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection to join the CT Land Mobile Radio Network.

"Participation in the CLMRN offers significant benefits to the town, including enhanced coverage, increased interoperability with other agencies, lower capital outlay and annual recurring costs and real time 24/7 monitoring of the network," wrote the Town of Avon in an announcement.

With this agreement in place, Avon will work with its vendor, Motorola, to finalize plans for the implementation of the system.

This comes as the town is finalizing preparations to apply for local building permits to renovate and modernize the existing telecommunications facility located at the Avon Transfer Station as approved by the Connecticut Siting Council.
