Purchase of Meadowood Open Space approved by town voters at May 20 Referendum.

Thank you!

I want to thank everyone who voted in the town's referendum on May 20th to approve the town's acquisition of the Meadowood triangle. I believe that the town's purchase and preservation of this property will benefit all of us and help Simsbury continue to be a wonderful place to live.

Thanks to the town's public officials who worked over the years to bring this proposal to the citizens of Simsbury.

Chuck Howard
