What happens to the homes outside the RPZ after they are purchased?
After homes outside the RPZ are acquired and the occupants have relocated, the homes may be razed and removed, and the site graded and seeded. The property could then be resold for non-residential use, compatible with local zoning, or retained as open space, preservation, or for recreation. If adjacent home owners have participated in the noise insulation program, it is possible that homes acquired by CTDOT may be noise insulated and re-sold to new owners. No airport development of any kind will occur on the acquired home sites. Any new private development would have to be approved and abide by all local Town ordinances.
