Groton A 161-acre land parcel off Noank Ledyard Road in Mystic is in line to be the town’s latest open space acquisition.
The town recently received a $352,000 grant from the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection s Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition Program to purchase the vacant parcel, called the Wolfebrook property, which is bordered to the north by the Fields of Fire complex and to the south by Regatta Circle and Chelsea Way. The town and the Groton Open Space Association also are slated to contribute to the purchase price.
The state announcement notes that the property will provide a link between town-owned open space to the north and south and will provide for nearly 200 acres of protected land between Route 1 and I-95.
