A public hearing which was scheduled for last night in Ridgefield was cancelled.  The hearing was about a proposal for the town to buy a parcel of land, but someone beat Ridgefield to the sale.  The Katz family was selling nine acres, and was considering a sale of three acres to the town.  But the other buyer decided to take the whole property.  The land off Ridgebury Road is next to the Ridgefield Golf Course.
