Officials have approved an additional $2 million to fund the final portion of soil remediation at Greenwich High School, which is expected to be the last spending on the long-running project. Public Works Commissioner Amy Seibert told the BET budget committee that crews found more toxic materials while working this summer, which are more expensive to dispose safely. The project entails excavating the dirt, sampling it for toxicity, transporting it, disposing of it and ultimately backfilling the field and planting new sod. DPW anticipates that the project will be complete in 2024, but the department will not have a firm completion date until crews start the next phase and assess how much more work is needed. The department previously projected that the fields would be open next spring.
