After only one application was received to develop 118 acres of town-owned property, the Request for Proposals call remains open until September, an official said. Proposals for the sale and development of Mountainside Drive, located off of Wallens Hill Road, are now due by Sept. 22. Town officials said that any proposal should focus on providing residential homes that will grow Winsted’s grand list and provide housing for “key demographics,” including but not limited to seniors and first-time homebuyers. Winsted will favor proposals that include amenities, such as playground space, tennis or pickleball courts, a pool, walking trails, bocce courts and other outdoor recreation spaces and facilities, Kelly said. Questions on the RFP can be submitted until Aug. 15, with responses from the town by Aug. 31.
