East Windsor Votes Yes On New Ambulance, Officials Say

EAST WINDSOR, CT — Voters approved a funding package Tuesday night that will allow the town to purchase a new ambulance, according to a post on the East Windsor Ambulance Association's social media page.

At a town meeting held on November 20th, residents voted to authorize $208,000 toward the purchase of a new ambulance. The funding includes $108,000 from interest earned on the town’s American Rescue Plan Act allocation and an additional $100,000 from the unassigned fund balance.

Shortly after the vote, Charles Roode, who is Chief of EMS, released a statement thanking the Board of Selectmen, Board of Finance, and “most of all, the citizens of East Windsor who came to vote tonight.”

According to the approved resolution, the ambulance will be granted to the EMS association, which will assume responsibility for maintenance, insurance, fuel, and all operating costs.

“We are extremely thankful for the vote passing,” the association said.
