Three conceptual plans that envision the re-use of the former Claude Chester School off Route 1, adjacent to Poquonnock Plains Park, as recreational space were unveiled to the public on Tuesday.
Athletic fields, a pool and splash pad, as well as other amenities, are being considered for the former school site, or nearby at the Groton Community Center. The town is seeking public comments as one of the first steps in deciding how to use the former elementary school site that closed at the end of the 2020-21 school year.
