Brookfield Allocates Funds to Storm Repair, High School Lights

BROOKFIELD, CT — The Board of Finance has voted this week to give the green light to use $200,000 from the general funds to repair storm damage to public spaces and the lights at the high school athletic field, The News Times has reported.

The town has already used the $1.5 million authorized to clear town right-of-ways of debris from the May 15 macroburst.

The board also approved $45,000 from the general fund to install metal light poles at the high school athletic field. Insurance covered the majority of the $430,000 pole repairs, and the additional $45,000 allowed for the upgrade from wooden to metal poles.
