The 30-second brief
292 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Town of Darien's meetings, most in capital projects and parks & recreation. The latest, from Oct 22: Alexandra Jung sought coastal site plan, flood damage prevention, and land filling and regrading review for a new 10 by 24 plunge pool, patio, retaining walls, stormwater management, and related site development at 137 Five Mile River Road. The agenda shows the commission was to deliberate the request, so the land-use approval was still pending at this meeting. This is a private project with design and site-work activity but no vendor names in the text.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Public Works and Environmental Services.
