In 2006, when an iconic waterfront property was placed on the open market, The Norwalk Land Trust (NLT) brought together a group of concerned citizens, the City of Norwalk and others to create and develop a vision for a 16-acre waterfront park on the Hart Peninsula. They wanted to preserve their community’s character as well as one of the last great natural places in the city.
But NLT almost lost their chance: developers were keenly interested in purchasing the land and the land trust didn't have the resources to buy it.
