Board directs two independent appraisals for Pulaski Highway site for proposed new middle school
Summary
After an executive session on acquisition of property at 78 Pulaski Highway, the board voted to direct the city to obtain two independent appraisals on the site as a next step in evaluating a proposed new middle school location.
Following an executive session on the acquisition of real property for a proposed new middle school, the Ansonia Board of Aldermen voted to direct city staff to obtain two independent appraisals for the parcel at 78 Pulaski Highway.
The motion — made by Yamen and seconded by Adamowski on the record after the closed session — passed unanimously. The vote was recorded after the board returned to open session; the stated purpose is to obtain objective valuation data to inform any potential purchase and financing discussions.
Why it matters: The board’s direction to secure appraisals is a procedural but essential step in property acquisition. Independent appraisals will help the city determine fair market value before negotiating any purchase and will inform budgeting and bonding decisions if the project moves forward.
What comes next: City staff named by corporation counsel will arrange the two independent appraisals and report back to the board with appraisal results and recommendations. The board did not announce a purchase decision at this meeting.
