New London Officials Have High Hopes For Reviving Development
Fort Trumbull plan at issue in talks set to start WednesdayNew London — It’s time to move forward at Fort Trumbull, according to city councilors.
After spending most of last year securing settlements with six former Fort Trumbull homeowners, the city and the New London Development Corp. now want to proceed with their effort to revive the city’s waterfront — and tax base — with development that would include rental housing, a hotel, office space and a museum.
To ensure progress on the development of the Fort Trumbull peninsula, City Councilor Beth A. Sabilia will hold the first of a series of Economic Development Committee meetings at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday at City Hall.
The meetings are designed to coordinate city efforts with those of the New London Development Corp. The meetings will give councilors their first opportunity in some time to discuss the status of the Fort Trumbull municipal development plan with NLDC leaders.
The town’s settlement with the original Kelo ruling holdouts was six months ago. I see the last sentence of the excerpt as an admission that literally nothing has been done, or even discussed, since then. How are the NLDC people earning their salaries?
