Governor Lamont has signed a bill into law to implement recommendations of the state Department of Transportation. One of the provisions is that the DOT Commissioner issue a request for proposals for the sale of goods within the highway right-of-way in the area of 300 Ethan Allen Highway in Ridgefield. This stems from an issue going back a few years where a vendor was ordered to stop selling food from that location. Under previous regulations, the state could sell, lease or enter into agreement for highway purpose.
