Welcome
Friends of Shoal Point Lane is a community conservation group of more than fifty waterfront homeowners, adjacent neighbors, and local conservation advocates, united in response to the accelerating degradation of coastal resources and the rapid, irreversible erosion of the unique character and natural beauty of the Riverside and Old Greenwich waterfront—driven by unchecked overdevelopment.
Founded in 2025 as a response to the proposed development of 22 Shoalpoint Lane (22 Shoal Point Lane) , our mission is rooted in the responsible stewardship and the prevention of overdevelopment along our shared waterfront through civic engagement and zoning reform.
This site provides neighbors with key updates, critical deadlines, and clear information on the project as it evolves.
