Stop misguided efforts to develop Remington Woods in Bridgeport and Stratford, which at 422 acres is one of the largest unprotected urban open spaces in the northeast.
Why is this important?
We are extremely concerned about proposals to build office buildings and a hotel on this property. Remington Woods should be off-limits for development and instead should be preserved as a park or open space for the people of Stratford, Bridgeport and surrounding towns. There are plenty of true brown fields in the area that should be cleaned up and used for office space and hotels instead, not a precious and rare urban open space such as this one. It would be as if the leaders of New York City proposed developing Central Park as a way to generate "taxes and jobs". Not a good idea in either location.
