New Fairfield considers land purchase to create Town Green

New Fairfield residents are being asked to vote tomorrow night on a proposal to buy property to create a Town Green.  A special meeting is being held at 7pm at the Senior Center to consider the appropriation.  Surplus money for other uses will also be discussed.

In making the case for the land purchase, New Fairfield officials say residents have been requesting more community activities.  The properties tie together other town-owned properties in the center of New Fairfield.  The land could be used for picnic tables, walking trails, and potentially a band shell.   A playground, possibly using recertified equipment from Consolidated School, could also be located there.  Planning and funding for Town Green will take a few years to develop. 

The purchase price of $425,000 is below assessed value of the properties and was the result of several months of negotiations. Purchase of the property was approved unanimously by the Board of Selectmen on August 12th and unanimously approved by the Board of Finance on October 21.
