Track Funding Delay Explained

New Fairfield’s Board of Selectmen has postponed a vote on funding the replacement of the deteriorating track and turf field at Rebels Stadium. The delay stems from concerns over the town’s medical fund. Residents are urging the board to approve a $320,000 transfer from the budget surplus for the project, citing safety concerns and rising costs. The board is expected to revisit the issue following a medical fund review on September 3.
