In a 5-3 vote, the Groton Town Council supported a long-term vision for the Noank School property that calls for a community garden, rain garden, walking trails, arboretum, Christmas tree grove, playground and youth soccer and lacrosse playing field. The decision comes after the council voted last year to terminate an agreement with the Noank Gardens Task Force managing the community garden on the property and directed town staff to review potential uses of the property. The town had demolished the former elementary school on the site in 2014. The Town Council decided last month to keep the property as green space and not sell it, but had not yet determined exact plans for it.
