Francis J. Clarke Industrial Park Expansion


1. Notice of Scoping for Francis J. Clarke Industrial Park Expansion

Municipality where proposed project might be located: Bethel

Address of Possible Project Location: Trowbridge Drive, Bethel, CT

Project Description: The Town of Bethel is seeking state financial assistance for the expansion of the existing Francis J. Clarke Industrial Park by extending an existing roadway (Trowbridge Drive) southerly in order to add approximately 50 acres of town-owned land which could result in the creation of up to 10 additional lots. The additional lots would be located on land to the east of the proposed Trowbridge Drive extension. The property located on the west side of the proposed Trowbridge Drive extension will remain open space. The DECD had previously partnered with the Town of Bethel to create a Municipal Development Plan (MDP) dated August 1983 which allowed for the creation of the Francis J. Clarke Industrial Park.   In addition the town is proposing to create three additional lots within the existing industrial park in areas previously classified as open space in the MDP Project Plan Report. The Town is required to abide by the Project Plan Report until it expires in August 2013. The proposed activities include roadway and utility extension and other associated project costs.
