On 9/21/06, the New Haven Register article entitled "
Zoning Change brings lawsuit" discusses Acorn Technology Campus LLC’s bringing of a lawsuit against the Planning and Zoning Commission. Acorn was originally going to build a biotechnology campus; and had changed their plans into building a "Planned Villiage Development" (whatever that is).
According to the article, Acorn claims the PZC:
... underhandedly removed a zoning amendment from its recently approved regulations that would have enabled the development.
My thoughts are that we don't need any more residential housing in West Haven!!! We need businesses!

I agree with a lot of what you've said. Unfortunately, we have 54,000+ people in West Haven who commute elsewhere to work. You also have almost all the 10+ acres in West Haven already developed. I think that we need businesses that are in for the long haul to replace those, such as Bayer, who are slowly leaving.
Perhaps it is a nit, but I don't agree that all of the houses built in West Haven produce a continual tax basis - they should, but when homes are foreclosed on, there's no money to pay the taxman.
I fully agree, however, that a future for our city involves both proper management and a vision (and a bit of diplomacy, too).
I hear a LOT about this 'Haverstraw' project - what say you about that one?
