Town meeting to be held in Brookfield about possible land purchase

A Town Meeting will be held in Brookfield for residents to decide about buying nearly two acres of land that could be used to expand the Police Station.  Brookfield officials are considering purchasing the property for $535,000.  The Boards of Selectmen and Finance have approved the idea.  First Selectman Steve Dunn told the Newstimes that the property was always intended to be part of the town campus.  The family that sold the other land, kept this parcel and gave the town first right of refusal for 20 years. The 20 years have past and the new owner, Joseph Grimes, is offering to sell it to the town.  The land is zoned as a contractor yard.   Town Equipment could be stored in the garage while the town rents the house to the current tenants.  The money would come from the town’s capital nonrecurring fund and rentals.  The town meeting is January 6th at 6:30pm and will be followed by the Selectmen meeting.
