Ashford Fire Department

Community Invitation: AVFD Public Budget Meeting

To our Ashford community members,

We invite you to join us for an open public meeting on Wednesday, March 11th at 6:00 PM to discuss the Ashford Volunteer Fire Department’s proposed 2026–2027 budget. The meeting will be held at our fire station on Rt 89 (46 Westford Rd).

This meeting is open to everyone who has questions, concerns, or simply wants to better understand the significant increase in this year’s budget and how it directly supports our ability to serve the community safely, effectively, and without interruption.

Our goal is full transparency.

We encourage you to come, ask questions, and hear the facts behind the budget increase—why it is necessary, how it strengthens emergency response, and what it means for the residents we proudly serve.

This is a needs‑based increase, not a want, and your engagement is an important part of the process. We hope to see you there and look forward to an open, respectful, and informative conversation.
