Workers preparing a new site for a branch of Fairfield County Bank at Post Road East and Compo Road South removed some large trees on the property today. The bank said in a statement its design calls for “conservation and protection of many of the trees now located on the property.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com

Wha? Then conserve and protect them, don’t destroy and remove them. Which is it?
Don’t it always seem to go till you don’t know what you got till its gone….. Just put all those trees in a tree museum Another Bank ? Who is in charge of sanity in this town?
“many of the trees” – probably three, max, right? – corporate double-speak at its best
It’s fine because they’re replacing the field with a combination of two things sorely needed in westport – a Mcmansionbank.
The P&Z;approved this destruction. Seems to be doing a lot of that recently.
You should read the minutes (if recorded properly). Some commissioners advocated to open up the property, brick wall and trees as well.
There is no conservation here. This is just another example of the overall lack of concern for protecting this town.
