First Selectman Updates Future Of Former Country Club Property

Written by-- First Selectman Beth Heller

Special Board of Selectmen Meeting December 17, 2018 in the Center Gym

About 200 people attended the meeting to hear presentations regarding proposals for the former-Country Club property by two developers. There was also an opportunity for public comment and questions to the developers.

These presentation materials are now available for review on the Town website:

This meeting was also recorded and can be viewed online and cable TV (Cablevision channel 79). Click the link below to the Town's YouTube Channel to view the 12-17-2018 Special Meeting video.

At the conclusion of the meeting, I provided an update regarding next steps the Selectmen will pursue. We will initiate a Constructability Review – this will be an overview from an engineering perspective to identify any issues that may come up regarding the land in question for each of the proposals. We expect that this will take several weeks.

Once this Constructability Review is completed, we will look to schedule another Special BOS meeting to review these findings. The timing of this is to be determined, but is expected toward the end of January. Again, I will continue to keep the public informed and I thank you for your continued interest as we explore these options.
