Sandy Hook Permanent Memorial Commission visits sites for consideration

The Sandy Hook Permanent Memorial Commission has held another meeting. 

 

A subcommittee is working with the Newtown Land Use Department to find available property for the memorial.  The Dayton Street area, the Edmond Town Hall back lot and other sites have been visited.  They ranked the possibilities on accessibility, free from noise, natural setting or view, and proximity to Sandy Hook and to infrastructure including roads, water, parking among other aspects. 

 

The committee still needs to meet with the Fairfield Hills Authority and the Forest Association.  There is an area on the Fairfield Hills campus which was designated for a Tech Park that's owned by the state and adjacent to the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary. 

 

Outreach about private land was also discussed last night. 

 

The committee is looking to recommend three to five possibilities for consideration.
