Danbury Looks to Add 27 Acres to Portfolio of Preserved Lands

DANBURY — Danbury will add the 27 acres of the Westman property along Bear Mountain Road to its preserved properties in the fall, The News Times is reporting.

The property belonged to Victor Westman, who died earlier this year and bequeathed his land to the city.

The wooded and natural habitat would join the city’s $700,000 purchase earlier this year of 65 acres of woods and meadows on Long Ridge Road in a growing portfolio of preserved wild spaces.

City attorneys are working with Westman’s estate and the city may formally accept the land at a meeting this fall, where the City Council will take a final vote.
