Simsbury Selectmen Approve $1.3M in Year-End Capital Funding
What happened
The Simsbury Selectmen approved more than $1.3 million in year-end funding for projects such as the Apple Barn, ambulance service, police equipment, and improvements to Simsbury Town Hall. This funding was drawn from savings generated during the 2025-26 fiscal year. Town Manager Marc Nelson noted that using these savings could reduce borrowing costs and ease future budget pressure.

Why it matters
The funding decision addresses capital needs by utilizing existing savings, which Town Manager Marc Nelson suggested could mitigate future debt. Nelson also raised concerns that strict bonding limits imposed by the Simsbury Board of Finance could ultimately increase the costs of capital projects if they are postponed.
