BoS votes in favor of purchasing library building
Last night, the Board of Selectmen voted unanimously in favor of purchasing the current Darien Library property at 35 Leroy Avenue. Discussion focused on the need to build affordable housing on the site.
Next steps in the process are review and voting by the Board of Finance and the Representative Town Meeting, and a mandatory referral to the Planning & Zoning Commission.
The Library owns the property and is selling it to offset some of cost of the project to build a New Darien Library at the corner of Post Road and Hecker Avenue. The remainder of the project cost will be met by private fundraising.
