Summary
A major legal win clears the way for a proposed 20-acre multifamily housing project on former animal sanctuary land in Ridgefield. After a court ruling forced the Inland Wetlands Board to approve a new bridge—critical for emergency access—the developer is now poised to present a formal proposal for two apartment buildings, including affordable units, to the Planning & Zoning Commission. Though residents initially opposed the plan and the board previously denied it, the court’s decision removes a key obstacle. The site’s former owner, who relocated their rescue facility to Virginia, says the design will blend with natural features like trails and waterfalls. A final zoning vote remains pending, but this ruling marks a pivotal step forward. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
