Darien’s Democratic Legislators, Governor Announce Grant to Buy Hecker Ave Land
|
Darien’s three Democratic legislators in the General Assembly announced Friday that the town has been awarded $137,500 to buy 1.245 acres of land overlooking Stony Brook on Hecker Ave. A news release from the state Senate Democrats office mentioned state Sens. Bob Duff and Carlo Leone and state Rep. William Tong, but not Republican state Rep. Terrie Wood, a past president of the Darien Land Trust and founder and first chairman of the Darien Environmental Group. The parcel of land is in Wood’s and Leone’s districts, not in Duff’s or Tong’s. All members of the public can use lands bought through this particular state program.
