Danbury has approved the first major overhaul in decades for the private Morefar Back O’ Beyond Golf Club, which spans the New York border, after environmental officials held firm on wetland protections. City regulators rejected a request to shorten monitoring of invasive Japanese barberry, keeping a five-year removal and reporting requirement. The project includes a new driving range, practice greens, and course redesigns on the Danbury side, along with wetlands mitigation to offset limited filling tied to construction.
