Buying and selling a house in Fairfield County, CT can involve a lot of legal issues. We asked an expert, Jeremy Vishno, of the Vishno Law Firm (www.vishnolawfirm.com) in Fairfield and New Haven CT about some frequently asked questions regarding both buying and selling a home:
While the state of Connecticut is celebrating it’s 375th birthday this year, Westport is looking for ways to celebrate it’s 175th birthday as well. Westport was sectioned out of parts of Fairfield and Norwalk which ran along the Saugatuck River in what is now Westport’s center. It received its charter from Connecticut by a special act of the legislature which was signed on May 28, 1835.
Not only is the town of Westport looking for ways to mark the town’s birthday, there has been a committee formed to develop a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the town’s $1.9 million purchase of the Longshore Club Park in 1960, regarded as the most significant land acquisition in the town’s history.
