State land sales could be a November ballot issue

HARTFORD — In 2015, the state tried to give 135 acres of undeveloped woodlands to the town of Fairfield. The conveyance was granted a public hearing at the Capitol, and it was eventually struck down, after the Nature Conservancy pointed out that the land was protected by a prior agreement intended to preserve it for future generations. Not all transfers or sales of public land get the opportunity for public input that the Fairfield parcel received. Later that same year, the General Assembly in a special session approved the conveyance of 16 land parcels to Bridgeport, Norwalk, Stamford and other towns. It also agreed to give a pier to the city of New Haven and continue leasing Mohawk Mountain Ski Area.
