This indicates the Town is considering the sale of municipal property (Lot 29 Main Street) to the Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) for the purpose of developing a parking lot to serve a new train station. This type of transaction often leads to subsequent construction, paving, lighting, landscaping, and potentially technology (e.g., parking meters, security cameras) contracts as part of the parking lot development. While the agenda item is for the sale itself, the downstream effect is a likely DOT-led procurement for design, engineering, and construction services for the parking lot.
