Selectwoman Asks for Public Input on Longshore Capital Improvement Plan

First Selectwoman Jennifer Tooker announced today that the next phase of public input for the Longshore Capital Improvement Plan will be taking place in the upcoming weeks.

The Town’s consultant, Stantec, will be presenting preliminary concept diagrams during the October 19, 2022 Parks and Recreation Commission public meeting starting at 7:30 pm which will be held via Zoom (link to be included in posted agenda when available at Public Meeting Calendar)

Multiple open house opportunities will be available for residents to speak directly with the consultants and view the diagrams in person.  

Open House Schedule

Location:  Westport Library, 20 Jesup Rd, Westport, CT  06880

Wednesday, October 26: 10am – 11:30am, 3pm – 4:30pm, 7pm – 8:30pm

Saturday, October 29:  9:30am – 11am, 1pm – 2:30pm

Director of Parks and Recreation Jennifer Fava stated, “The open houses are a great opportunity for residents to receive an overview of the materials and see the diagrams up close. Each open house session allows for people to come and go freely, as each will include multiple brief overviews and an opportunity to ask questions, make comments, and provide feedback to the consultants.”  

Parks and Recreation Commission Chair Dave Floyd said,  “We are excited about moving this process forward and encourage people to attend the Zoom meeting on October 19 to hear a detailed presentation and then to follow up by attending one of the open house sessions to provide feedback.” 

The presentation will be available on the project website Stantec Longshore Club Park starting October 20, 2022.  If unable to attend any of the open house sessions, the accompanying survey will be available on the project website as of October 31, 2022.  The project website is also accessible from the Parks and Recreation Department home page Parks&Rec
