New Milford Town Council takes control of 25 protected acres by Veteran's Bridge

The New Milford Town Council has unanimously agreed to take control of 25 protected acres by Veteran’s Bridge.  The Northwest Conservation District agreed to buy the land several years ago using money from a GE settlement, which could not be directed to a municipality.  The intention was always to gift it to New Milford.  But some Town Council members are concerned that it will cost too much to maintain the land, which runs from the bridge to Housatonic River Brewing.  The proposed donation was sent to the Planning Commission and must still be put to a Town Meeting for a vote.  If approved, the property will be conserved in perpetuity.  Mayor Pete Bass says the limited mowing could be done by a private company in exchange fro a sponsorship. The Youth Agency could use an employment grant to have program participants clear existing trails.
