A Colchester businessman has purchased the 26-acre Camp Holy Cross property on Mallets Bay in Colchester from the state’s Roman Catholic diocese for $4 million.
Bruce Barry, who owns land near the church camp property, said Monday he has no immediate plans for the site other than to have all of its 22 buildings demolished because they are in poor, unusable condition.
“We’re going to start by taking down the fallen-down buildings and cleaning the property up and possibly designing a sea wall to stop the erosion there,” Barry said Monday. “In the future, I would say we’ll probably put up some really nice houses along the lakefront or something like that.”
