TRUMBULL, CT — Active construction continues at Long Hill Green, with the project expected to last into early summer, town officials confirmed. Residents traveling through the area are advised to proceed cautiously, though no significant disruptions to road access are anticipated during the work.

The Long Hill Green improvement project aims to revitalize this important community space, enhancing both its functionality and aesthetic appeal. Major components of the project include regrading the green to improve usability for residents and visitors, as well as extensive tree plantings as part of the town’s ongoing “1,000 Trees for Trumbull” program. Additional landscaping will further beautify the area, creating a more inviting and vibrant environment.

New walkways will improve pedestrian flow throughout the green, while the installation of benches will offer comfortable places for relaxation. The town will also add welcome signage to demarcate Long Hill Green, helping to foster a stronger sense of place and community identity.

“We are committed to making Long Hill Green a welcoming and enjoyable space for all residents,” said a town spokesperson. “These improvements will enhance not only the green itself but also the surrounding neighborhood. We want everyone to feel proud of this space and encourage community gatherings and outdoor activities.”

The project is supported by a mix of grant funding and local resources, reflecting Trumbull’s investment in public spaces that contribute to residents’ quality of life. The town is also working to ensure the construction process is as smooth as possible, minimizing inconvenience for local residents and visitors.

During the construction phase, town officials urge drivers and pedestrians alike to remain alert and follow posted safety signs. “Safety is our top priority during this construction,” the spokesperson added. “We thank the community for their patience and cooperation as we complete these important improvements.”

Once finished, Long Hill Green will be an enhanced community hub suitable for a variety of uses, from casual strolls to neighborhood events. The improvements aim to create a lasting legacy for current and future generations of Trumbull residents.

Updates on the project timeline and progress are available on the town’s official website, encouraging residents to stay informed and engaged throughout the construction period.
