The 877 Ethan Allen Highway property will be sold for $441,000 to the Ridgefield Professional Office Complex, which aims to build 71 townhouses and 21 apartments, including 14 units that will be designated as affordable. The property, also known as the “Village at Ponds Edge,” is home to one of the town’s sewer plants. The majority of the proposed development would be built on a neighboring 27 acres surrounding the 877 Ethan Allen Highway land. The property sale was approved during a May 10 special town meeting, but the development project requires further land use approvals. There is no date yet for construction to begin. Remediation would be needed to clean up contamination that has collected on the site. The WPCA will cover the cost of all the remediation, Marconi said. While the sale of the property has been approved, the town’s Inland Wetlands Board and Planning & Zoning Commission will address the intended use of the property at their next meetings. The property was on the agenda for the Planning & Zoning Commission’s May 16 meeting and the Inland Wetlands Board’s May 25 meeting.
