One of Darien’s most significant acquisitions in recent history, the 60-acre Great Island property was purchased by the Town for public use and recreation. Redniss & Mead has been a core contributor throughout the acquisition, planning and visioning process.

We’ve provided land surveying, site civil engineering, and zoning consulting services to evaluate site conditions, access needs, and regulatory opportunities and constraints. Our team designed a new two-way entrance driveway to facilitate safe and efficient public access to the site. Currently, we are supporting the Town and Reed Hilderbrand, the lead landscape architecture firm, as they craft a comprehensive master plan for the future of this extraordinary waterfront property. Our role has been to help guide and inform the plan through our local knowledge and expertise in site design and regulatory strategy.

We are proud to be working with the Great Island Advisory Committee, chaired by former First Selectman Monica McNally, whose leadership has been instrumental in moving this important initiative forward.
