Site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Design plans call for the construction of a municipal facility; and for site work for a municipal facility.

Update: The existing animal control shelter was constructed in 1969. The building, kennels, and cages are now severely outdated and in need of substantial repair. Drainage issues have been identified and caused the animal control shelter to recently fail a state inspection. The recommendation is to raze the existing structure and construct a modern, functional facility. FY 2025 adopted budget moves the approved FY 2023 project from ARPA fund to Capital Reserve fund due to potential time constraints with the ARPA grant obligation deadline of December 31, 2024. The estimated cost to construct a new Animal Control Facility has increased from approximately $950,000 to $3.5 million. This increase is due to higher-than-anticipated construction costs, a commitment to building a net-zero energy facility, and additional design and space requirements to meet operational needs. Given the current condition of the existing facility, decisive action is needed. We will continue to explore alternative construction methods and potential cost-sharing through regional partnerships to manage costs effectively while addressing critical facility needs.
