Greenwich RTM elects Voulgaris moderator, backs bridge funding
Town Meeting · Meeting of January 20, 2026
Greenwich RTM reelects Voulgaris moderator, funds North Street Bridge gap. The 230-member body opened its new term by electing Alexis Voulgaris moderator, 192-0, and Katherine N. LoBalbo moderator pro tempore, 201-0, both uncontested.
Commissioner of Public Works James Michel said the lowest construction bid for the bridge project came in at $3,808,450, pushing total costs to $4,760,563 and requiring a $1,061,000 gap-filling appropriation, approved 201-0-2. A companion bonding resolution for the same amount, needing 116 votes to pass, was delayed by an electronic voting malfunction before carrying 171-2-4. Finance Committee chair Scott Kalb said the state is expected to cover $4.3 million of the project through a transportation grant, leaving about $500,000 to be bonded locally.
Members also learned the BET approved an $8.2 million interim appropriation for the Old Greenwich School project, to go before the RTM at a special meeting February 4.
