Op-Ed: The Future of Waveny House
|
The Town of New Canaan owns and maintains too many under-utilized buildings. Solving this has been discussed as a priority for several years but not enough has been done. Our duty to be fiscally responsibility has become more urgent in light of the COVID-induced financial crisis. Case in point: Waveny House is underutilized, yet a proposal is currently in the final approval process to spend $2.8 million on construction to make it compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Additional costs listed in the Town’s 5-year capital plan could bring the outlay to almost $5 million over five years.
