    Building Renovation Update

    Since February, when the Senior Center construction bids came in significantly higher than estimated, the plans for the renovation and expansion project have been reviewed with a fine-toothed comb for savings that will not compromise the integrity or functionality of the Center. In addition, a plan for modernizing the kitchen has been added. This new package will go out to bid this month.

    The people of Lyme and Old Lyme are being asked for an additional appropriation of $660,000 (Old Lyme) and $220,000(Lyme). Two Town Meetings will be held on April 15th, where citizens of each town may vote:

    • Lyme – 6:00 PM in the Lyme Town Hall
    • Old Lyme – 7:30 PM in the Lyme-Old Lyme Middle School Auditorium

    Please come out and vote!
    In addition to this update, monthly “Building Buzz” information sessions are being held every 4th Tuesday at the First Congregational Church of Old Lyme at 11:15 AM.
