EASTON — A town-owned piece of land on South Park Avenue will be sold to the Aspetuck Land Trust, after residents voted in support of the transaction in a referendum on Tuesday.
First Selectman David Bindelglass said it was great the sale was approved by residents, especially by such a large margin — with 1,058 residents voting in favor and 574 voting against.
“It’s the first time that the town got to exercise its new power under our land use ordinance, which says the sales and leases of land are town decisions,” he said. “I think the people made it very clear about their desire to preserve the South Park property.”
