While on the topic of Super 7 I spoke briefly today with Department of Transportation Commissioner Joseph Marie, who was hired about a year ago to take over the agency, about whether he might consider selling off the land acquired for the long-dormant expressway linking Norwalk to Danbury.
The state purchased the land decades ago at a cost of $29.4 million and it is now valued at around $164.7 million.
Marie said he has not given it any thought, but added: “The likelihood of us building Super 7 in the next 10 to 15 years is negligible … It’s not going to happen.”
