Have A Say On Suffield's Fire Station, Middle School Plans

SUFFIELD, CT — Suffield officials are asking residents to help shape the future of Fire Station 1 and Suffield Middle School through a new community survey focused on potential facility improvements.

The survey, which takes about three to five minutes to complete, is designed to gather public feedback as the town evaluates future options for the two buildings.

Participants are first asked about their connection to Suffield, age group and familiarity with the town's ongoing facility planning efforts.

The survey also asks residents which approach they prefer for future investments, ranging from the lowest-cost solutions that address essential needs to larger investments aimed at providing the greatest long-term benefit to the community. An option is also available for those who need more information before forming an opinion.

At the end of the introductory section, respondents can choose to provide additional feedback specifically on Fire Station 1, Suffield Middle School, both projects or neither.

Town officials said the responses will help identify community priorities as they consider future improvements to the two facilities.
