Westport town starts condemnation of land near beach
Westport moves to condemn a 3 acre tract extending 200 feet from Meridian Point to Beach Drive to thwart private sale and potential development. Public hearings set for September 16 as officials seek to acquire the land to prevent sale to developers and possibly create park or amusement space near Compo Beach. The issue ties to prior town plans and local politics with budget talks and upcoming October elections looming.
