Meadow Ridge history.
Meadow Ridge is set high on a picturesque hilltop in Redding, CT, surrounded by scenic Connecticut countryside. According to the “History of Redding,” the community is located on the site of the former Gilbert Farm, owned by Edwin Gilbert. Gilbert’s father founded the Gilbert & Bennett factory, which produced wire mesh cloth and operated until the 1980s, when operations were moved elsewhere.
Meadow Ridge was founded by David Reis, who envisioned a community that would offer a superior level of style and services for discerning individuals. Senior Care Development, a Harrison, NY-based firm specializing in Life Plan communities, developed Meadow Ridge and is majority owner.
