The GCDS Schwarz Campus is 41.5 acres in the RA-1 zone and the school does not receive any FAR bonus for educational use. The Schwarz Campus at 23 Fairfield Road was originally part of the F.A.O. Schwarz estate, which goes all the way to Cardinal Road. Even if the school added the requested units, they would still have remaining FAR, but the discussion revolved around the proposed multi-family apartment building in the RA-1 single family zone.

“The K-12 World Language program has suffered cuts over the past few years. Last year, the weekly instructional minutes in our elementary school program (FLES) were severely reduced: Kindergarten and grades 4 and 5 were cut by 40%, Grades 1 and 2 lost 33%, and Grade 3 lessened by 25%. This decrease in instructional minutes can only result in slowing down the learning curve for our elementary language students, thus, impacting their future study at the secondary level. However, Greenwich High School continues to have world language study as a graduation requirement, and many colleges want to see world language study beyond what GHS requires. Any reduction of FTE at the high school level would decrease opportunities to fulfill these requirements.” Continue Reading →

“It pains me to hear discussions that place greater concern on missing a season of ice time than on preserving the peace and dignity of this memorial space. It pains me to consider a 40,000-square-foot structure placed just feet from housing dedicated exclusively to senior citizens and individuals with disabilities. And it pains me deeply that one of the last true open spaces in the Byram community could be lost to a massive structure in its center.” – Liz Eckert Continue Reading →
