Valley legislators on the local and state levels are applying pressure on Gov. Ned Lamont to get the long-delayed Valley Fire Chiefs Training School off the ground.
The majority of the Ansonia Board of Aldermen went as far as passing a resolution Tuesday night “condemning” Lamont for a lack of action to move the project forward.
The language in the resolution was proposed by Lorie Vacarro, a Republican who serves as Aldermanic president.
“I don’t have a sense of optimism that this is going to get done,” Vacarro said.
The Valley Indy emailed the governor’s office for comment Wednesday.
The school, which would train and certify area volunteer firefighters, has been talked about for more than a decade. The school is supposed to be built in Beacon Falls. A facility closed decades ago in Derby.
