Fairfield Marsh Restoration Meeting Draws Residents

Fairfield residents along Riverside drive and Concord street convene with the Conservation Commission tonight at 8 in the Town courtroom on Nichols Street to protest salt water marsh changes. Thomas Steinke says water flushing and a tidegate aim to reduce fire hazards and mosquito growth, but residents fear loss of grass, trees, and gardens and cite an orange slick from a marina. They may seek tidegate closure or larger tax abatements while the town pushes toward a natural marsh restoration.
