Trumbull Acquires 68 Acres of Open Space

Trumbull First Selectman Tim Herbst announced that the Trumbull Land Trust has acquired 68 acres of open space.

Seven different parcels have been added to the open space inventory.

“Adding these critical parcels to Trumbull’s open space inventory continues Trumbull’s rich tradition of maintaining the highest levels of parkland and open space acreage of any community of similar size,” Herbst said.

The following was recently acquired:

Oakland Drive: 27.68 acres
Foxwood Road: 27.20 acres
Meadow Road West: 6.798 acres
Friar Lane: 3.398 acres
Huntington Road: 1.9 acres
Southgate Road: .6 acres
Stonehouse Road: .421 acres
Total: 68.17 acres

A portion of a parcel was dedicated to former First Selectman Kenneth Halaby.

“Mr. Halaby’s legacy was one of responsible land use planning and open space preservation,” Herbst said. “I am proud to have succeeded him on the Planning and Zoning Commission and also into the First Selectman’s office. I consider him a mentor and a dear friend. I can think of no greater tribute to his legacy than the naming of 20 plus acres as an open space preserve,”
