Back to EpisodesUConn Golf Facility Plan Sparks Flood Fears, Heritage Concerns
Description
Residents near Mansfields East Road are opposing UConns plan to build a golf team facility on seven acres of woods, fearing it will trigger flooding due to the high-water-table area and active springs. The Harper family, among others, has suffered significant damage from past floods after trees were cut down. UConn argues the center is necessary, but critics question its location, funding, and potential environmental impact. The town urges studying alternative sites and conducting full environmental reviews. A decision on more reviews is due by late April, with construction potentially starting next year if approved.
