The Ridgefield Planning and Zoning Commission is holding a public hearing tonight on a special permit application by the town to make changes to the former Schlumberger property.  Ridgefield officials are looking to make the Old Quarry Road land ready for new tenants. 

The special permit is for the excavation, filling and/or grading of earth material and site modification for lighting and landscaping. 

A site walk was held last week. The Planning and Zoning Commission will have 35 days to close the public hearing, which is by August 9th. 

Ridgefield-based theater company ACT of Connecticut and New Canaan-based furniture design firm Bassamfellows are leasing the former Schlumberger auditorium and Philip Johnson building, respectively. 

The public hearing is at 7:30pm.
