Although this complex project was not conceived of as a way around such rules (but rather as a way around the referendum trigger in the town’s charter), such rules still hold and may carry cost saving implications such as state education reimbursements as well.
Discussions of closing the Yalesville branch of the Wallingford Public Library hinge not only on costs, which are minor, but on use and on community. We hope the right decision is reached.
