Griswold Airport was a public airport located three nautical miles (6 km) east of the central business district of Madison, a town in New Haven County, Connecticut, United States. It was privately owned by Griswold Airport, Inc.〔 The airport has been closed since the beginning of 2007. == History == Griswold Airport opened in 1931, located between Route 1 and the Hammonasset River, and adjacent to Hammonasset State Park. In 1985, the Griswold family offered to sell the airport to the town of Madison. In November 2000, Leyland Development Corporation obtained an option to purchase the land, and submitted plans for a 260-unit housing development, which was approved by the towns' Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC). A lawsuit against the town to stop the development failed, but local opposition was so strong that Leyland withdrew its original proposal. In the fall of 2003, the developer (renamed LeylandAlliance), submitted a revised proposal to build 131 units. In May 2004, the new proposal was approved by the PZC. LeylandAlliance completed the purchase in February 2007.〔 〕〔 〕 In January 2010, residents of the Town of Madison voted to buy 42-acre former airport property from the developer.〔 〕 Assisted by the Trust for Public Land, the town completed the purchase in May 2010〔 〕〔 〕 and in 2011 signed a conservation easement to permanently protect 20.6 acres of the land from development.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Griswold Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
