New Fairfield has approved a $600,000 transfer for high school track and turf field replacement, a decision made during a contentious special town meeting. The gathering saw significant community engagement, particularly regarding a proposal to rescind $791,809 in unused American Rescue Plan Act funds. After heated discussions, the town ultimately voted to withdraw funding for various projects, including sewer design and small business grants. Some residents raised concerns about the legality of the rescission. A vote on reallocating $1.09 million in COVID relief funds is scheduled for September 28.
