The Town Council voted unanimously to set the property tax rate at 27.36 mills for fiscal year 2026–27 and to divide an unexpected $1.7 million state aid grant — half for current taxpayers, half in reserve for a revaluation year the council is watching with caution.

Farmington TPZ Schedules July 27 Hearing on Noble Energy Rezoning

Henry Whitfield·

The Farmington Town Plan and Zoning Commission voted Monday night to accept Noble Energy Real Estate Holdings, LLC's application for a partial R40 to B1 rezoning at 8261 Fienemann Road and to schedule a public hearing for July 27. The 86-acre parcel — at the corner of Fienemann Road and the I-84 ramps, drained by a culverted channel into Hartford-owned Batterson Park Pond — is where Noble Energy has proposed a warehouse, a travel center, and fueling stations. The same project has been the subject of two contested wetlands hearings this spring, with an intervener petition formally accepted May 6.
