Over this past weekend One New London finalized a resolution for Fort Trumbull that One New London councilors Frink and Cornish will propose at the April 3rd city council meeting. It is: 1. Move the remaining houses not in parcel 4a to parcel 4a. 2. Return the titles to the property owners. 3. Property owners pay their back taxes from June 2005. 4. Property owners agree to no future lawsuits. If you support this proposal please contact your city councilors and tell them you believe this is a reasonable resolution you would like them to vote for on April 3rd. Read Councilor Cornish’s March 20th letter to the The Day editor on the column on the right.

March 19th will be One New London’s next community forum. The meeting will take place at the Garde Community Room on State Street. The meeting starts at 2 p.m.. All are welcome to attend.

On March 6th the city council voted to have the city manager and city attorney investigate the legal feasibility of One New London’s open-ended land lease proposal. The proposal, which can be found on the right hand column of this website, would have the city sell property in a different way to protect it’s tax base. If you like the proposal please contact your city councilors and tell them you want it enacted.

One New London’s next community forum will be on Sunday, February 19th, at 2:00 p.m., at the Garde Arts Center Community Room on State Street in downtown New London. Please come and ask Councilors Cornish and Frink-as well as any other elected officials who show-questions, offer suggestions, and find out what is happening with New London’d civic affairs. Call Jenn at 444-8009 for more information.

At last night’s City Council meeting the Mayor called for enacting One New London’s proposal to compromise with the Fort Trumbull residents and offer consolidation of the remaining houses on Parcel 4a. Unfortunately the proposal was altered such that houses would be moved, but the residents would not retain ownership. While One New London is adamantly against this alteration to our proposal, we are encouraged that other city councilors are now willing to consider compromising with Fort Trumbull residents.
