Ridgefield looks to buy property near rec center, possibly add parking

Ridgefield is considering purchasing a 2.42-acre property at 217 Danbury Road, next to the Ridgefield Recreation Center, to address ongoing parking shortages. The property includes a 1959-built house listed for $750,000. Town officials say acquiring the land could provide space for additional parking or recreational use. A public hearing is set for May 21, with a town vote scheduled for June 11.
