Dock and Dine Land Swap Referendum Postponed By Eric O'Connell Staff Writer
Old Saybrook’s proposal to acquire the former Dock and Dine property will go to a referendum, but not in June. Town leaders opted to postpone scheduling a vote to allow more time to provide the public with detailed information. Two separate agenda items on the May 13 Board of Selectmen meeting called for the
board to schedule a public hearing in early June, followed by a referendum on June 18 concerning the potential acquisition of the property. However, the selectmen unanimously decided to table both items. Board members said that since there were not yet concrete answers to some of the questions raised at an April 30 public information session, it would be more prudent to hold a public hearing and
vote when the town was in a position to provide more information. Old Saybrook First Selectman Carl Fortuna said a proposed lease had been sent to Jon Kodama, the principal of The Point, LLC, which owns the property at 145 College Street. Fortuna said the town has not yet received a response.
