Hearing set on Windsor County Courthouse renovation bond

An informational bond hearing to approve a $2 million renovation of  the Windsor County Courthouse will be held upstairs in the Springfield Municipal Building, 96 Main St., beginning at 7 p.m. Thursday Feb. 21.

Every Windsor town will be voting on this bond issue and this meeting is being held in advance of the Tuesday, March 5 vote.

The courthouse upgrades will include the rear addition of an elevator and stair tower, a metal detector and more security features.

The cost of the bond is spread out on a prorated rate to all the property taxpayers of Windsor County. For Chester homeowners with a $250,000 home, that would mean $6.24 more a year for 10 years on their tax bill.
