State Seeks To Relocate FHH Residential Tenants

As the state proceeds with plans to market the Fairfield Hills grounds to

private interests, it is working on some residential aspects of the project.

To make the campus a more attractive property to potential tenants, the state

is seeking to have people currently living there relocate elsewhere.

About two dozen people who formerly worked at Fairfield Hills are still living

in two dormitory buildings there. They had been notified last winter they

would have to relocate from the dorms by May 31.

The residents were slated to meet with state officials June 20 concerning

relocations.

The state also is seeking to have Addiction Prevention Treatment (APT), a

substance abuse treatment center, relocate from the campus, according to

Richard Nuclo, chief of state assets management for the state Office of Policy

and Management (OPM).

APT officials, however, have resisted state efforts to get the residential

patients to move to quarters off the Fairfield Hills grounds.

OPM officials are continuing discussions with APT on a move, Mr Nuclo said

Wednesday.

It's unclear when the treatment program will relocate, he said.
