Open House Charrette to discuss the concept of a Westport Public Safety Complex

First Selectwoman Jennifer Tooker has announced an Open House Charrette to discuss the concept of a Westport Public Safety Complex. The project, currently in its conceptual and feasibility stage, will be discussed on Thursday, February 6, 2025, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Center for Senior Activities, 21 Imperial Avenue.

An Architect Presentation will begin promptly at 7:00 PM, followed by interactive discussions and feedback opportunities. Residents and stakeholders are welcome to attend and provide their input on the future of a complex. During the charrette, there will also be an opportunity for residents to submit online public comment.

First Selectwoman Tooker emphasized the importance of this project, stating, “The safety and well-being of our community is always our top priority. A Public Safety Complex will ensure that our first responders have the resources and infrastructure they need to serve Westport effectively for generations to come. I invite residents to join us, share their insights, and take part in shaping this critical initiative.” 

Chief Nicholas Marsan, who also serves as the Town’s Emergency Management Director, added, “This would be more than just a building; it’s a commitment to the people of Westport. Modernizing our facilities will enhance our ability to respond quickly and efficiently in times of emergency. A new complex will also allow for better coordination of resources and planning, ensuring that our community is well-prepared for any situation. We look forward to hearing from our community and working together to bring this vision to life.”

Police Chief Foti Koskinas stated, “This is a much-needed facility that will greatly benefit our community. Housing police, fire, and EMS under one roof fosters better collaboration, faster response times, and more efficient operations. A project of this nature will strengthen public safety and ensure that we are well-equipped to serve Westport now and into the future.”

For more details on the Charette, please contact Nicholas L. Marsan via phone at 203-341-5000 or email at nmarsan@westportct.gov.
