Several Options Emerge For Future Of Country Club Land

June Update from First Selectman Beth Heller via the town's monthly newsletter

New Options Explored for Former Country Club Property - The Selectmen began consideration of preliminary
draft proposals for this property with the intention of using the Public Opinion Survey results to help guide their
review of potential options.

One potential use of the property that was suggested by write-in survey responses was the possibility of a ‘Solar Farm’ installation, which we will look into further. In addition, at the May 9th Board of Selectmen's meeting, we reviewed three preliminary draft concepts:

Option A - includes an offer to purchase approximately 10 acres to build an assisted living facility.

Option B - includes an offer to purchase approximately 40 acres for 55-and-over, single-unit housing. The proposal also includes an 18-hole renovated public golf course, a renovation of the clubhouse to include a banquet hall and restaurant, and renovation of the pool for public use.

Option C - includes an offer to purchase a portion of the parcel to build 68 age-restricted, single family homes along a 9-hole renovated golf course, with recreational space and approximately two miles of walking trails for public use, and 132 age-restricted townhomes on both sides of Woodfield Road.

No decisions have been made and we will be going back to all three entities for additional information for the Board to further consider. I will keep you informed with updates at the Town website as we continue our due diligence to determine if one of these options should move forward.
