Farmland? Isn't it currently occupied by the engineering buildings, the ruins of Mansfield Training Scool and a minimum security prison? Doubt a test track will raise much fuss. Except for the fact the Town of Mansfield would be upset if you sent them roses.The farmers are going to be pissed. Depot is protected farmland. I'll believe this when I see it.

From this article its appears that mitigation was done in 2016. Did it not happened?There is a lot more land back there. UConn promised to develop it as designated farmland as mitigation for the tech park. They could possibly squeeze it in or alter their commitment in some fashion, but given how UConn does things, this isn't happening quickly if at all.
I could be mistaken, but the map to me indicates the area around the compost facility north of route 44. The new track facility is the SW corner of the old training school south of Route 44.From this article its appears that mitigation was done in 2016. Did it not happened?

SIM City…I would very much enjoy working on those types of projects if this gets built out as stated in the article.
They could probably do the track, the stadium, and a golf course. Use the track for tailgating on game day like the old Rentschler Field.BTW, since a test track takes up a lot of land and much of it isn't used. Any chance they incorporate a golf course?
