In what First Selectman Mark Nickerson has called a "now or never opportunity," town officials have worked out a deal to purchase an office building and create an almost $6 million public safety complex, as long as residents approve the plan.
Nickerson said last week the deal will provide the town’s newly independent police force with “an adequate building of its own” after 14 years in a “cramped,” temporary Main Street location.
The town, he said, has 120 days to approve the purchase of a $2,775,000 office building at 277 West Main St. — a location that borders Old Lyme and sits near the Interstate 95 Rocky Neck connector. Honeywell Corp. owns the building.
