DEEP pondering future of Sunrise State Park

The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said it may seek further proposals from private entities for the future use of Sunrise State Park is East Haddam.

The 143-acre park, formerly known as Sunrise Resort, was acquired by the state for $3.2 million in January 2009. The state tried unsuccessfully last year to find a developer last year for the park.

Sunrise contains a number of rundown buildings from the former vacation site. The state has torn down some of the structures.

DEEP will hold a meeting Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Nathan Hale-Ray High School in Moodus to update residents and solicit feedback about the park.
