Stonington — A group of about 40 residents, most of them members of the Stonington Volunteer Ambulance Corps, quickly and unanimously approved funding to repair the ambulance building and the Lantern Hill Road bridge at Tuesday night’s town meeting.

There was no comment from the public on either item before the votes were taken.

Voters approved a plan to take $185,000 from the town’s undesignated fund balance to repair structural problems at the ambulance building, which will involve replacing the slab and footings.

The problems have forced the ambulance company, which primarily serves the borough and central section of town, to station its ambulances at the Stonington Borough and Quiambaug fire departments.

The ambulance headquarters temporarily has been moved to the borough firehouse.

The town owns the land where the building is located, and the ambulance company built and owns the building.

Plans are to do the work this fall so repairs can be completed before winter.

The voters also approved $329,000 to fix the Lantern Hill Road bridge, half of which will be reimbursed by the state.

The cost of the Lantern Hill Road bridge is being split with Ledyard, which is contributing approximately $350,000. The bridge connects the two towns.
