SEYMOUR — The state will reimburse the town upward of $262,000 to acquire property necessary to break ground on a long-awaited fish bypass channel in the Naugatuck River.
The Board of Selectmen on Tuesday unanimously authorized First Selectman Paul Roy to agree to two contracts with the state Department of Environmental Protection.
The contracts stipulate that Seymour will be reimbursed $187,000 for the land that was the former site of the skate park downtown, and up to $75,000 for a small parcel the town has to acquire from Oakbridge/Fallview Associates LLC, which the DEP needs to make way for the project.
