BETHEL, CT — Residents will vote Tuesday on whether to allocate funding to finish the police station firing range.

If approved by the taxpayers, the referendum will allow the town to spend up to $1.4 million from the fund balance to complete the facilities.

The new police station was completed in October 2018, but the launch was rocky. The on-site firing range has remained unusable absent specialized air conditioning, heating systems and other equipment.
