Local CT Officials Say Bill Would Preclude Local Control Near Transit Stations
A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
Local CT Officials Say Bill Would Preclude Local Control Near Transit Stations | 16 March 2015 | Local officials and groups that represent municipalities are sounding the alarm over a bill they fear would strip towns and cities of control over development near train and CTfastrak stations. At issue is legislation proposed by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to create a new quasipublic agency called the Connecticut Transit Corridor Development Authority. The authority…is intended to assist and promote development within a half-mile radius of transit stations. But the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, the City of New Haven, Republicans on the town council in Newington (home to two CTfastrak stations), and others worry that the legislation as now written would undermine local zoning and decision-making authority.
