Construction Projects Transform Branford

This is a summer like no other in Branford; The town is in the midst of three major renovation-expansion projects.

Construction is underway at Walsh Intermediate School and the Community House/Senior Center, and work will begin soon at the iconic James Blackstone Memorial Library.

That's a lot of change - in more ways than one. The projects have the ability to transform services for everyone in Branford, but they also come with hefty price tags.

* Students in grades five through eight will eventually have a school with interior walls - instead of the open-concept school that was built in the early 1970s.

* Senior citizens will have a new handicapped-accessible center that meets their needs, not like the Canoe Brook Senior Center, which has a convoluted four-level ramp and no elevators. Kids of all ages will benefit from the renovations at the Community Center.

* And the expansion project at the Blackstone Library will allow better access to the library's multitude of programs and services that are geared to everyone from toddlers to seniors. Read More
