Repurposing Town Property - Groton Heights
The Town of Groton is excited for the opportunity to repurpose the former Groton Heights School into a vibrant use that will contribute to the Town’s tax base, goals, and vitality.
The property has been vacant since 2007, and is the second Town-owned excess property to go through the Town’s recently updated Town Owned Property Re-Use Evaluation Process (Disposition Process).
