The New Hartford Board of Selectmen held an on-site Special Meeting on Tuesday, January 24, 2012 to walk two locations under consideration for expansion of recreational playing fields.  The first site visited was the field area behind the Ann Antolini School and the second was a  parcel of land on Old Steele Road which is privately owned. Both parcels are being considered by the Brodie Park South Study Group Committee and that committee has requested funding from the selectmen for environmental studies for the two sites; a third site under consideration, in the interior of the Antolini lot, was not part of the walk-through.

Participating in the walk-through were the three selectmen, Dan Jerram, Alesia Kennerson and Jack Casey, as well as Christine Hayward, Administrative Assistant to the First Selectman. Dan Eddy, the Chairman of the Brodie Park South Study Group Committee, was also part of the group. Members of the public included Daria Hart, Dan LaPlante, Peter Anderheggen and a concerned resident whose property abutts the Old Steele Road site.

The Special Meeting was followed at 7:00 p.m. by a regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen at which the site visits were discussed.  We will add a link to the video recording of the Regular meeting as soon as it is available as soon as it is processed.
