willimantic dispatch in ct - info

apparently willimantic switchboard fire chiefs dispatcj center
dispatchs for windham and the willmantic taxing district and the town
of franklin

would not surprise me if the comm center is actually TWO private
agencies - willmantic switchboard fire chiefs AND Willimntic Police
Dispatch Corp

apparently they are a private corporation acually (or two)

we need to dig into this a little bit sometime

they built a new comm room between the willimantic pd and the
willimantic fd in 2022 with a $3M state grant - free money!

williantic taxing distruct is a special taxing district within the
town of windham - its like a village or borough in a Town - but its
not - might have been a city at 1 point also - dont know who really
runs it now - it is included in the town of windham budget document
but in a special section

the police seem to be bloated with a fulltime custodian and a fulltime
FOIA officer - there are only 18,000 people there

from wikipedia - Willimantic is a census-designated place located in
Windham, Connecticut, United States. Previously organized as a city
and later as a borough, Willimantic is currently one of two tax
districts within the Town of Windham. Willimantic is located within
Windham County and the Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region.

the 2 tax districts are First Tax District and Willimantic Tax
District - first district might pay for the VFCs - willimantic tax
district pays for willimantic fd with 32 ft and willimantic pd with
$8M budget - willimantic fd amb also covers the town of windham - the
town supplies 12 FTE to help staff the willimantic amb - all crazy
complicated stuff

plus they have a big university right in willimantic and a big
hospital and an airport
