Turf Wars Heating Up In Guilford

GUILFORD, CT - The high school's proposed turf field is stirring up heated debate in Guilford.

The Board of Selectmen voted last week not to address the issue via petition, which sought a special town meeting, according to the Guilford Courier.

Guilford Residents Concerned About Turf (GRCAT) had submitted the petition to the BOS.

The group wanted a special town meeting to vote on a proposed $950,000 for a second artificial turf feld at the high school, Shore Publishing reports.

Residents supporting the petition wanted further discussion to debate pros and cons of real vs. fake grass for the field and health concerns with the artificial turf.
