Many Ridgefielders who are active in town and school volunteer work turned out. Here (photo, left) Rob Miller (left) and his wife Mary (far right), both active Democrats, toured the site.
(Photo, left) Here's the approximate location on which the Grade 5-6 school would be built, based on current plans. You can see the site is a dry wooded area. It's elevated from the eastern part of the site, where the pond and Ridgefield Brook are located. According to the experts, it's a perfectly ordinary buildable site, and would require no special foundation work. The local media covered the event, including this reporter for WLAD Radio (photo, right), who interviewed a number of residents who toured the site Saturday.
First Selectman Abe Morelli (photo, right, leading the group) was on-site throughout the open house, leading walks through the site, and answering residents questions. Morelli and other town officials are chagrined that the recent referendum to approve the next installment of school design funds was defeated, when only 15% of the voters bothered to turn out.
(Left)Rob and Mary Miller's son Jake served as an unofficial guide on Saturday. (Right)Democratic Board of Education member Mary Pat Devine (2nd from right, in blue shirt) led groups on site walks all day. Co-hosting this tour was school board member Maureen Kozlark (far right). The man in the Cowboys shirt is Steve Mauer.
