Farmington Fire Station Vote Now Aimed at Fall 2027

FARMINGTON — Farmington voters won't be asked about new firehouses in East Farms and Unionville, and a bigger station in the village, until fall 2027. On Friday, Oct. 30, the committee planning the $30 million to $35 million project agreed to skip a spring or summer vote. Members said the volunteer chiefs need time to work out what each station requires, and the architect needs time to land on a price that holds. Waiting has its own cost, the architect warned: steel is getting scarce and expensive, and his firm is hearing that data centers are the cause.

What Home Care Really Costs Connecticut Families

For eight years I worked as a nurse at one of the major hospitals in our area, on a med-surg floor and in ED observation. I saw the same moment again and again. An older patient was medically ready to go home.
