Country Day School Donates Land to Town

The town received good news that the Greenwich Country Day School is donating land to Greenwich to improve the intersection at Old Church and Fairfield roads.

"As a former faculty member of Greenwich Country Day, it's a very generous gesture and I wholeheartedly support it," said Selectman David Theis, who was once an athletic director at the school and who still remains on the board.

Bruce Cohen, the school's lawyer and a partner in the firm Fogarty, Cohen, Selby and Nemiroff, presented the conveyance at the Board of Selectman's meeting Thursday morning.

In May 2008, the school proposed creating a lane for cars making a right turn from Old Church Road to Fairfield Road, a project that was completed and has improved sightlines.

The Board of Selectman accepted the 374-square-foot land transfer unanimously. At the Representative Town Meeting's Sept. 20 meeting, the request will be formally approved.
