MONTVILLE — Residents can comment October 28 on a proposed ordinance that would authorize the town to seek offers for approximately 1.5 acres of municipal property at 192 Maple Avenue.
The Town Council hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Town Hall, 310 Norwich-New London Turnpike in Uncasville. The town’s notice, dated October 19, says the measure was introduced at an October 16 special council meeting.
The proposal would permit the mayor or finance director to solicit a sale directly or through a broker, sealed proposals or auction. It calls for the highest and best acceptable proposal, while allowing officials to reject all offers or waive irregularities.
Acceptance would be followed by a quitclaim deed approved as to form, terms and legality by the town attorney. The proposed ordinance also allows terms, easements and restrictions considered in the town’s best interests.
The text does not name a buyer, set a sale price or establish a completed transaction. It would become effective 30 days after adoption, if adopted; the hearing notice is not evidence that adoption has occurred.
The full proposed ordinance is available through the linked town notice and at the Town Clerk’s office.
Eastern CT News prepared this AI-written report from the complete official hearing notice and proposed ordinance. It has not reviewed a later council decision or sale agreement.
