Glastonbury Election Results 2025: Turf Wins In Ballot Question Battle

GLASTONBURY, CT — It appears a way has been paved to add more artificial turf field to the Glastonbury High School Athletic complex.

A ballot question spurred by a citizen-group petition that would have restricted further field development using artificial surfaces was defeated Tuesday.

New school roofs were essentially approved and firefighters had tanker funding OK'd.

Democrats also swept the town council race.

The ballot questions are:

Question 1 - Shall the Town of Glastonbury appropriate $8,220,000 for the roof replacements at Glastonbury High School and Naubuc Elementary School and authorize the issue of bonds and notes in the same amount to finance the portion of the appropriation not defrayed by grants or other funds?

• Yes - 8,552
• No - 1,994

Question 2 - Shall the Town of Glastonbury appropriate $3,200,000 for the acquisition of two fire tank apparatus and authorize the issue of bonds and notes in the same amount to finance said appropriation?

• Yes - 8,688
• No - 1,821

Question 3 - Shall the ordinance, proposed by citizen petition, which reads: “No additional artificial turf greater than 100 square feet, beyond the existing artificial turf field at Glastonbury High School, shall be permitted in any public place. The term ‘artificial turf’ also known as ‘synthetic grass’, shall include any material composed of plastic, rubber, or any other synthetic fiber or material which simulates, in appearance or function, a natural grass field” be approved?

• Yes - 4,924
• No - 5,599
