Board To Review Land Acquisition August 8 2006 SIMSBURY – –The board of selectmen will review a proposal to acquire a tract owned by Ethel Walker School, at a special meeting to be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the Eno Memorial Hall Auditorium on Hopmeadow Street. The selectmen will discuss and possibly approve a resolution concerning the land, according to a town meeting agenda. The private school once considered building luxury homes on part of the 424 acres and is offering to sell development rights to the town for $13.85 million. The land, on Bushy Hill Road, includes forests, trails and wetlands. The agreement was negotiated by the Trust for Public Land, a national nonprofit conservation organization. If the board approves the resolution, it would then refer the matter to the board of finance, which is one of several steps before a special town meeting and a referendum.
