Statement from Town of Coventry Regarding Pond Condemnation

“The Town of Coventry is aware that Soscia Holdings LLC has filed a federal court complaint challenging the Town’s condemnation of the Flat River Reservoir, also known as Johnsons Pond. While we will not be discussing legal strategy at this time, we are prepared to defend the Town’s position and the process we followed. The Town took this action in order to preserve and enhance public access to this cherished community resource. We remain fully committed to redeveloping the property in ways that deliver even greater public benefit to Coventry residents—now and for generations to come.”
