will vote within 35 days, a period that began last week after its final hearing, when the Connecticut Environmental Review Team presented a long-awaited report on the plan’s environmental impact. The CERT report recommended that the town consider purchasing the property and turning it into an open-space preserve to deter any future development plans. This decision would satisfy the hundreds of residents who have been attending town meetings the past few months to share their concerns with the project. See CEDAR, Page 3
