As the Town of Newtown considers options for future plans for Fairfield Hills, First Selectman Dan Rosenthal is hosting in a presentation tonight. 

The presentation will cover the history of Fairfield Hills since its purchase by the Town in 2004, buildings that have been demolished and the ones still standing, what improvements have been made to the campus and the challenges that still exist.  Additional sessions will be held to cover the financials of the campus and options for the property. 

The Fairfield Hills Master Plan Committee has unanimously recommended future uses for the former state hospital campus, including a possible mixed-use residential development. A referendum will be held this spring, before any decision are made. 

A survey about future uses found that residents were opposed to housing, but not to development.

The presentation tonight will be held at the Newtown High School Auditorium from 7 to 8:15pm.
