Senior center heads for referendum

The Rocky Hill Town Council voted to put $10.5 million expansion of the existing Senior Community Center to referendum in November.

Seniors fought hard and filled out surveys conveying to the town that they wanted a stand alone senior facility with easy access parking, auditorium and other amenities benefiting seniors.

Somehow along the way that got pushed aside and a plan for a community center emerged leaving the seniors

as an added thought and were told they would share the new community center.

At one point it was suggested that maybe the word SENIOR be omitted from the Community/Senior Center

as it will be called.

Longtime Senior residents of Rocky Hill have supported many schools, paid taxes and have made this community what it is, deserve better.

I urge the senior population of Rocky Hill to think twice when voting for this referendum, your taxes will go up and you are not getting the facility you wanted.
