Unfinished Suffield Roads Prompt A $416,000 Move

SUFFIELD, CT — Selectmen voted unanimously Oct. 21 to call a $416,000 performance bond over unfinished work at the Kings Meadow subdivision off East Street South.

Hamlet Homes LLC missed an Aug. 15, 2025, completion deadline, Planning and Development Director Bill Hawkins reported, according to Board of Selectmen meeting minutes.

The developer and paving contractor considered about 95 percent of the existing base pavement suitable for final paving. Town consulting engineer Dana Steele cited cracking, uneven surfaces and inadequate width, recommending replacement or rebuilding.

Outstanding work also includes curbing, sidewalk repairs, drainage inspection and landscaping. The developer agreed to address most items but disputed responsibility for sidewalk damage, the minutes state.

First Selectman Colin Moll supported calling the bond, citing repeated delays. He cautioned that collecting the money could take a year or longer if contested.

The board voted 4-0. The minutes do not establish a completion date.
