What's The Best Way To Modernize Ridgefield's Emergency Response?
Do Ridgefield's Police and Fire facilities still have what it takes, after over a century of hard use? Here's how to find out…
**News Release Submitted by Town of Ridgefield**
May 31, 2024
The Ridgefield Police and Fire Departments are currently housed in facilities that were built over a century ago. These outdated buildings no longer meet the evolving needs of Ridgefield’s Emergency Departments, First Responders or Community. Extensive research, including a feasibility study and site scouting, shows that a combined Fire and Police Public Safety Building at the Old Quarry Campus is the most efficient scenario, both logistically and financially.
Please join First Selectperson Rudy Marconi, members of the BOS & Police Commission, Police Chief Jeff Kreitz and Fire Chief Jerry Myers for a Public Information Session at the Ridgefield Library on Saturday, June 15th at 10am or 1pm to learn about the proposed project. The team will talk about the need for a new facility, project details and the process it took to get to this phase. Following a brief presentation will be a Q&A session.
There will be two information sessions: 10am and 1pm. No need to register! Guided tours of the current Police and Fire Headquarters will be offered.
