New Bloomfield voters will go to the polls next week being asked to approve a $3 million general obligation bond issue to build a new fire station, renovate its old fire station, and to plan out new equipment purchases for the next decade.

If approved, a homeowner with property valued at $100,000 would see a monthly increase of $1.69, whereas the average homeowner’s property taxes would increase by about $2.30 a month.

General obligation bonds would allow the department to get funds for a lower cost to the taxpayer than if they went directly to the city.
