Granby Drummer (https://granbydrummer.com/category/town/page/21/)
Like any household or business, the Town of Granby has its share of physical assets to protect and maintain. Whether it’s buildings at the Town Hall complex, plow trucks, schools or Salmon Brook Park, there are millions of dollars’ worth of physical plant, rolling stock and infrastructure that we as a town have the responsibility and obligation to manage and maintain.
It is the season to recognize the U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in our Armed Forces.
According to the National Fire Protection Association the peak months for grill fires are June and July with 20 percent of these fires due to grills not being cleaned. Grill fires involve an average of 9,000 home fires per year resulting in an average of 22,000 patients treated in emergency rooms.

Every ten years, as required under Connecticut State Statute, municipalities must prepare and adopt a plan of conservation and development (POCD). A POCD is a document that outlines policies, goals and standards for the physical and economic development of a municipality. It recommends the most desirable uses of land within a municipality for residential, recreational, commercial, industrial, conservation, agricultural and other uses.
For this Drummer segment, let’s talk about the Granby Police Department (GPD). In October 2023, Police Chief Scott Sansom was hired to lead the GPD. Before his arrival and especially today, the GPD is well run, and while calls for service are up, crime year-over-year is down.
