This is an advance notice directed to all Residents of the Noank Fire District. There will be a special public meeting at the Noank Firehouse Meeting Hall on Thursday, April 5, 2012 starting at 7:00 PM. A Public Legal Notice to this effect should appear in a few days

The purpose of this meeting will be for the Noank Executive Committee to obtain permission from the residents to proceed with a formal request to the Town Council for a transfer of the former Noank School property operation from the Town of Groton to the Noank Fire District.

A local study committee has been meeting regularly, reviewing potential use of the property. That review process will continue but the committee is already satisfied that Noank will have multiple uses for the property and therefore desires to proceed in dealing with the Town.

The school building’s major community assets include a multi-purpose auditorium, kitchen space, offices and classroom space for group meetings and bulk storage. The exterior has ample on-site parking with outdoor recreation areas. The facility is in reasonable condition and was most recently utilized as a temporary location for the Groton Senior Center.

Please feel free to distribute this information to your Noank neighbors and encourage them to come to the April 5th meeting. Thank you for your attention.
