At a September 2024 Greenwich P&Z commission meeting, a proposed coastal subdivision to transfer land between 0 and 60 Field Point Circle was denied, but in December 2024, the ZBA approved it. Both lots have since sold for a combined total of $125+ Million.

“What started as a conversation about modernizing an aging facility has grown into a comprehensive redesign of Morlot Park — relocated fields, regraded terrain, retaining walls, new access roads, geothermal infrastructure.

It is disappointing to read the many Republican letters warning us that if the Democrats are re-elected to town government, we will experience a rise in the mill rate and a doubling of our long-term debt.
