Welcome!
The Town of Groton is excited for the opportunity to repurpose the Pleasant Valley School into a vibrant use that will contribute to the Town’s tax base, goals, and vitality. The property has been vacant since 2018, and is one of the first Town-owned excess properties to go through the Town’s recently updated Town Owned Property Re-Use Evaluation Process (Disposition Process).
The Town’s Disposition Process includes extensive steps and check points with the public and elected officials to collectively arrive at a preferred Project Concept / Development Team, based on the goals and objectives as set forth by Disposition Process and Town Council goals.
Here you’ll find information on the steps that have taken place so far. This page also goes over what comes next, as the Town Council moves through the Disposition Process towards selecting a final Project Concept / Development Team.
Please see below for information on how to use this site including familiarizing yourself with the Disposition Process, the Town Council’s goals for the Pleasant Valley property, and where we are in the process. This site will continue to be updated as we move through the process.
