Abstract:Members of Re-New London Council Board informally met with Dr. Norman Garrick in November 2009. A lively discussion regarding the ; New London landscape in general and leverage points for revitalization ensued. Norman related his observations as he entered New London ; through Route 32 and the north end of Williams Street. He noted that that end of the City had been cut off from New London by I95, Gold Star ; Memorial Bridge and the on and off ramps which resulted in divesting the community and the lose of homes and many acres of buildable and ; taxable land. This also meant that the central commerce area of Hodges Square and the two campuses were disconnected from the necessary ; vital flow between them and the City district. ; This excited the notion of re-connecting this neglected section of New London, the people who live there, and the hope of reinvigorating the ; economic health of the City at large by reclaiming land, and the potential for taxable property; as well as developing walk-able and bike-able ; commerce for daily needs. Transportation and land scape would play a central role in reimagining the area. Subsequently, Re-New London ; Council's Board approved the project as a sponsor. ; -Art Costa-
