Owners Of Wilkus Farm In Wethersfield CT Will Have To Clean Up Contamination Before Town Buys It

March 10, 2010- The owners of Wilkus Farm have agreed to clean up contamination at the property before the town buys it for open space. The original deal, negotiated by the Trust for Public Land with the three owners, called for the town to buy the 87-acre property for $3.5 million. That deal was postponed in December while the extent of the environmental contamination was assessed.

Town Manager Jeff Bridges said the owners have agreed to clean up the property before the deal is finalized May 1. The sale price will also be lowered by $55,000 so the town can conduct groundwater testing in the coming years.
