Bill > SB00673

This bill modifies a previous land deed from the state of Connecticut to the town of Newtown, which was originally recorded on July 16, 2004, in Volume 822 at Page 632 of the town's land records. The original deed stipulated that the parcel of land located at 6 Commerce Drive must be used specifically for economic development purposes. This legislation would now permit the town of Newtown to use the same parcel of land for open space and recreational purposes instead, effectively removing the original economic development restriction. By changing the authorized use of the land, the bill provides the town with more flexibility in how it can utilize this property, allowing it to be transformed into a public recreational area or preserved as open space, which could potentially benefit the local community by providing green space or recreational amenities.
