Remediation activities on Hoyt Island. (Norwalk Land Trust)
NORWALK, Conn. The Norwalk Land Trust is seeking $200,000 of City funds to clean up contamination on Hoyt Island.
“This is a huge, huge project for us, we need help. And you guys have always been a been there for us when we needed help,” Norwalk Land Trust fundraising chairperson Midge Kennedy said to the Conservation Commission recently.
Although the Land Trust got a $100,000 grant from the State in 2018, through State Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-25), the costs to clean up asbestos and PCBs (Polychlorinated Biphenyl) have escalated, Norwalk Land Trust Board President Seeley Hubbard said. Toxic materials are there in “heavier concentrations than we thought were possible” and it’s estimated that $300,000 is needed to remediate in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency and Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) guidelines.
Updated, 3:37 p.m.: Sale price was $3 million.
NORWALK, Conn. The Norwalk Land Trust’s campaign to preserve 15 acres on the old White Barn Theater property has ended, with the sale of the land to a home-building developer.
Able Construction plans to move forward with the plan the late Jim Fieber obtained Zoning approval for in 2015, Planning and Zoning Director Steven Kleppin said. That would be a 15 home conservation development at 78 Cranbury Road and 440 Newtown Ave., adjacent to a 5-acre Land Trust preserve.
Fieber’s plan inspired outcry in 2015, with many protesting the proposed demolition of what was left of the late Broadway star Lucille Lortel’s White Barn Theater. Others said that it wasn’t really a conservation development given that Fieber was counting land under power lines, property that is under an easement and unlikely to be developed anyway. Eversource regularly poisons the land to prevent trees from growing, they said.
