Town Property On Reef Road For Sale AGAIN
FAIRFIELD - Nearly five years after the town purchased a 7-acre parcel known as Parkview Commons -- to save it from over-development, provide affordable housing and add acreage to Veterans Park -- two lots on Reef Road have gone unsold. The property was formerly Navy housing and when the RTM approved the development plan for the site, it provided that those two lots be sold as market rate housing. Town officials have tried to find buyers but have been unsuccessful.
On Tuesday night, the Representative Town Meeting, by a 22--21 tally, voted to allow the two lots to be sold as affordable homeownership units.

Art/Place Gallery To Move From Southport Depot
SOUTHPORT -- Since the Southport Railroad Station reopened in February almost a year after a fire nearly leveled the westbound depot, something has seemed out of place.
For 27 years prior to the fire, Art/Place Gallery rented space in the station to display and sell original work by area artists.
But in a letter to the Fairfield Parking Authority last month, Dave Pressler, an artist and liaison for Art/Place, formally declined the panel's invitation for the gallery to move back into the newly renovated space and requested a letter acknowledging the lease's termination. "This decision is based on our inability to function as an art gallery in the state of Connecticut's reconstructed building," Pressler wrote in his May 6 letter.
About $2.4 million was spent on a historically accurate restoration of the fire-damaged station building, which dates to the late 1800s and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
