�TUITION
The fall and spring semesters witnessed the continuation of
the fight against tuition begun in 1970. The opening of the
fall semester saw the establishment of the Coalition Against
Tuition (C.A.T.) with representatives from twenty five of
Connecticut's
public colleges and learning institutions.
C.A .T., spearheaded by Jim Dyer and Ron Blanchette of
Central Connecticut State College, organized two major
anti-tuition protests . At Wesconn, while the S .G.A. remained out of the tuition fight, Kathie Kucia, editor of the
Echo, started the local chapter of C.A.T .
On November 10th more than 2,000 students rallied at
Bushnell Park, Hartford, to protest against the tuition, and
on December 10th more than 1,000 students packed the
Capitol building to speak out against the tuition at the Education Committee's
hearing on tuition and scholarship
programs .
On the heels of the Keep Tuition Down Committee's victories of last year, C.A.T. pressed hard for complete repeal of
the tuition bill. Speeches, letters, petitions, bumper stickers
and buttons, lobbying in Hartford, and all the other requirements of working within THE "system" took place,
but to no avail. On F~iday, February 11, 1972, the tuition
battle ended in defeat as the Education Committee, with
only half its members present, voted 11 to 10 against repeal
of tuition.
The Education Committee's vote marked the end of a twoyear tuition battle which saw Connecticut's youngest state
college trustee, Jim Dyer, debate the Governor and the
General Assembly on behalf of the students of the public
college system. Although the bill to repeal tuition was
killed, there were many victories. The K.T.D. Committee
cut Governor Meskill's original tuition proposal by more
than $30 million and delayed the imposition of tuition by
almost a year. The anti-tuition lobby also succeeded in introducing many alternative ways of charging tuition and at
the same time prevented the Governor from raising tuition
for the new academic year while scholarship money was
increased.
The defeat of the tuition repeal bill by one vote was not the
defeat of the Coalition Against Tuition . It was the defeat of
the State College students. As usual. apathy reigned, and
students refused to actively support the lobbying efforts of
the tuition committee. Because they chose to accept the tuition rather than fight it and chose not to support those who
were fighting it, they now have to pay a tuition which most
likely will be increased every time the State needs additional
revenue . Public colleges are no longer public.

�Standing here hcforc you today. I am oven, helmed by my being here representing the graduating class. ,\t
the same time. I am honored to he ahlc lo speak for the Senior class. Although I 4ucstion my ability 10 represent each and every graduate. I do have some thoughts and reflections which I would like lo share with all
Of}OU .
Certainly. all of us will remember \\'cstcrn Connecticut Stale College as it has been for four years. Nevertheless . each of us will view the even ls of our college careers from varied perspectives .
Four years ago we entered college as Freshmen . presumably seeking an education . In retrospect. some of
us sec the education offered us here 1nadc4ua1c and 4ucstion the value of a diploma when there arc relatively few jobs available for us . Then. there arc a few of us who have always been indifferent towards education
and will leave today with that same feeling of indifference . Finally. there arc those of us who can say that
learning has successfully taken place and arc proud lo receive a diploma from Western Connecticut Stale
College . ,\s one might readily sec. learning and a good education is a personal task.
For many of us. college has hccn more than just an educational institution. We have centered much of our
lives around this ,mall college as we studied together. worked together. and have been together as friends.
,\II of us have memories and . in different ways. all of us will miss thb campus .
It may seem trite and unnecessary for me 10 !ell you
as adults . but the phase of life you arc now entering
world of love. of hatred. of peace. of war ., \ world
world of nothingness . \\' c can appreciate the beauty
tion in the air .
that today you arc leaving and going out into the world
merits a great deal of allenlion . Today we go out to a
of fun. a world of sorrow ., \ world of opportunities. a
of Spring. and look in disgust and despair al the pollu-
Thi, is the world we an: nO\, entering as we bridge the gap between our youth and adulthood . It is time for
us tow ork constructively. in our own li11lc ways. to improve our live,. and in turn. thew orld we live in .
Today. I am proud to be able lo say that this graduating class has proven itself in college and now will disperse to all part, of the country and the world . There is a great deal 10 be done and you arc the people who
will have lo do it.
In closing. I wish 10 share with you the pride I have for the college. the people I have worked with. and the
graduating class .
All of what I have said has been very optimistic and in the same vein. I 4uo1c the theme of Spring Weekend. 1969 .. Today is the lir,1 day of the rest of your life ...

Remarks al the 68th
Commencement
�.. . if one advances confidently in the direction of his
dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined.
he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. In
proprotion as he. simplifies his life, the laws of the universe
will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude,
nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have
built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is
where they should be. Now put the foundations under then-1."
Henry David Thoreau

almost
complete

has proposed that twtion be

would

schedule that would spread the
cost ol tuition and lees out over
the academic vear rather than
requiring one iarge payment at

and that 50 percent ol the

These threl' bills have been
introduced to the Education

committee ol the Board ol

Colleges.
In a related development
Dyer issued a statement_ on
behalf ot the Coalition Against
Tuition and himself which left
few unscorched The statement
said. '"The Education Committee of the General Assembly
has
!ailed
miserably
in
responding to the students ol
this slate. More than 1,000
students
attended
the
Education Committee hearing
on tuition and pleaded for a bIII

Dyer continued. "'It is un•

more unfortunate
that only

Education. ecology. and health

Meskill proposed a Sl.159

along with a one hall percent
increa. e in the sales tax.
l\lesk1II also announced that
he was willing to take ten years
to pay oil the state debt rather
than do it in one or two years as
he proposed last year.
The governor also announced
that the current fiscal year
would end with a balanced
budget. In the area of education
Meskill included $4 million for
utilities and site development of
the new Wesconn campus.
Education
was the largest
commitment of the budget with
halt a billion dollars being
requested. In the field ol higher
education Meskill said he would

�The Echo
The Spring semester saw the Echo under attack from several quarters .
Plagued by a lack of staff and cooperation from the student government the
Echo was also confronted with a printer who would censor the pap~r at his
own discretion without consulting the editor. For failure to publish articles
which the S.G .A . wanted published and for printing articles which the
S .G.A. did not like the Echo found itself with a frozen budget and the threat
of being abolished.
Friends of the Echo rallied from all around the campus and from all factions
to defend the purged publication. An audit of the books was called for by the
S.G.A. but an intensive investigation proved that all was in order. Publication resumed after a brief period of interruption by the S.G.A. and the Echo
was "saved ."

S.G.A. A Good Start
S.G.A. - A GOOD START ...
Last Thursday the.SGA met in emergency session to begin
the journey back to responsible and good government.
Wesconn's new SGA president, Paul Carolan , deserves
much praise for the initial action be has taken . He came into
office confronted with not only the inherent problems of
assuming the role of SGA president but also by the problems
left him by the previous, and disastrous, SGA administration. In the past all newly elected SGA presidents
have had at least two weeks to orientate themselves before
taking office. This year, however, because of a change in the
college calendar and also because of the (allure of the
previous SGA to plan properly , Paul Carolan only had two
days before taking office.
He met the responsibilities thrust upon him well and he is
to be commended. Because of bis actions the Wesconn
student body can now be assured of having an adequate SGA
Budget and they can also be assured of the continuance of
campus clubs and organizations.
Few realize how close the SGA actually came to complete
destruction only a couple of weeks ago. Some might say "so
what." We would remind these crifcics that without a student
government absolutely no organization could exist. The SGA
is the ONLY LEGAL BODY that can tax students, fund
organizations, recognize new clubs, and represent the
student's opinion to the administration. Previous SGAs have
certainly had their flaws, but nevertheless,
student
government remains the only legitimate voice of the
students .
In salvaging the skeleton of the SGA Paul Carolan took
daring and courageous steps in constructing an emergency
senate . It isn't his fault that no one cared enough to seek
senate seats except for a mere handful of students. It isn't
bis fault that the SGA bit rock bottom. It is his responsibility
to do his best to rebllild and create a viable SGA. 1bis is what
he has done. He sought the help and cooperation of the class
presidents and he received it. He sought the c~nsel and
participation of the eight senators who were elected and be
received it. He bas begun to receive the support of the
student body at large and be deserves It.
We urge you to offer your help and cooperation to Paul alld
the new SGA. A lot of goocl things are beginning to happen
and it's refreshing to know that someone with a sense of
responsibUlty, an awareness of the student body, and an
intense interest of wanting to do what's ript is leading It.
Support your SGA.

Editorial II
SDP
- A Bad Start
S.D.P . - A Bad Start ...
While we write of the many good things which are
beginning to take shape on campus we must also write of
some of the bad things. It seems as though a new
organization is about to be born. A brief debut was made on
Friday , April 14, when a circular was released condemning
the WSCT-FM Referendum as being fraudulent and
misleading . The new group , although one might won.der if
their tactics are new, calls itself the SDP - Students for A
Democratic Process .
The one thing they forget to tell you is that they only
permit a democratic process which agrees with them . Fear ,
suspicion , innuendo , threats, lies , and downright distortion
is the only _thing which SDP stands for .
Early reports from around the campus lead us to believe
that this new, AND ILLEGAL, campus organization is bent
1m just one thing ... DESfflUCTION. They seek to destroy
averything that they do not agree with and everyone . They
have refused to work within the existing channels because
they realize that a responsible electorate would fail to
acknowledge their presence. SDP represents a small
minority bent on disruption because they can't have their
own way . SDP represents an attack from the extreme right .
An attack from petty minds, closed to productive thinking.
thriving on jealousy and intelligence founclonly in a pissa'nt .
Just as this campus is beginning to pull itself out of failure
and disaster along comes a group intent on putting Wesconn
down again. Along comes a group demanding their way.
Where were they ~hen work was to be done? Where -,,ere
they when an election was being held? These worms only
tum up when they think they can seize upon an opportunity
to get their narrow way.
Our information tells us that it isn't only WSCT-FM that
will be coming under auack from these petty right-wlngen.
It seems as though every major campus organization is
about to "get" it. It seems as though a new SGA is about to
come in for it. It seem • as though the Yearbook is going to be
on the purge list. It even seems as though the Echo is up for
it too.
We welcome the " •ecret" memben of the SDP to remove
their hoods and 1tand up and show their yellow heads. We
welcome them, too, to first become a legal and recognized
campu • organization - of coune that would involve
working with some of the people they detest ... respon • ible
student leaden .
We also welcome this neo-Nazi movement to offer what
they are for ln •tead of just what they are again •t!
We also implore the studenta of Wesconn to pay little heed
to what •ome would lead voa to believe to be a "democratic"
group . The SDP counterpart, SDS, produced abou, as much
as this group will :.. destruction. If it isn't the extreme left,
it's the extreme right. If the SDP isn't happy here we invite
them to either work through the existing structure or get the
hell out.
This campus does not need a reactionary group . It does not
need more division or more frustration. If students are going
to remain constantly apart , fighting each other, nothing will
ever be accomplished.
The Students for a Democratic Process is nothing less
than a movement to con the Wesconn student, to mislead
him and to make him think he has been used and has had
something taken from him . This isn't the case. The only ones
who will use the Wesconn students are those who support the
SDP. Thev are the ones who will take . The SDP will take,
use . destr~y. and ruin anything positive. Don't be a part of it•
Help to stop it.
As soon as we obtain a list of this nice group's leaders we
will publish it for you . We will publish it because we have
IH>enthreatt'nl'd not to.

��������GOVERNOR GRASSO
VISITS WESTCONN
���CAMPUS TO STATE HOUSE
The 1976 elections in the Danbury area were highlight
ed for the WestConn community by the entry of state
college trustee Jim Dyer into the 110th State Assembl
District race . Dyer attracted a large turnout of college
volunteers - something that no other post-Watergate
politician was able to do - and he swept to victory on
election day running ahead of Senator Lowell Wieker and
Congressman Ron Sarasin, and even Jimmy Carter.
Dyer's coalition of college volunteers and elderly resi
dents proved to be a formidable mixture for his Republi
can opponent, and on election night state representative
elect Jimmy Dyer had much praise for his "Kiddy Corp"
of WestConn students. "Anything that I am, and anythin
that I'm going to be started at WestConn," said Dyer,
"and I am very grateful for the tremendous help that I
received from so many friends."
�WestConn Eleets A Representative
�STOP
THE.
FOR THOSE WHO MISSED
THE PROTEST
MOVEMENT ...
In case you missed the mid-sixties and early seventies WestConn staged a re-run of those spirited protest days. "Ban the
Bomb," "Stop the War," and other famous protest slogans
were seen marching around the campus, however, just as in
the real protest days, most WestConn students remained apathetic.

Wesconn makes inau
By MARK AZZARA JR.
Sports Editor
Saturday was both a day to
remember and a day to forget for
Western Connecticut State's football
team.
The players always will remember
that they were the first men ever to
play varsity football at Wesconn and
that Saturday the school played its first
varsity game.
Wesconn's gridders also will find it
equally difficult to forget what
happened that afternoon under a
blazing hot sun and before some 1,900
people at Osborne Street Field.
Wesconn came out on the very short
end of a 55-7 decision which also
involved Curr

BRIDGEPORT - It was midway
through the third quarter but already
the Immaculate High football players
were yelling in unison, "Fourth

Mustang head coach Don Wilkes had
drilled his team well. Last week the
Mustangs blew a lead and lost in the
final period to St. Mary's. 27-8 and they
were bound and determined not to let it
happen again.
It didn't. The Immaculate High
gridders held up for the full 48 minutes
and walked off the field with a 29-20

The quest to reach comes in the form
of a touch or a feeling in the hand.
To be able to walk in the playground at lunch, and
hear voices of fun and laughter.
To be able to strive for something you think
is right.
To be able to hear oceans of sound that you have built
from tiny streams that once started with the opening day
of school.
To want to be able to say to children something
that will make them laugh, and get a smi le in return.
To be able to taste a learning experience that you have
established and to know that it works.
To be able to see children growing up with new ideas,
and trying to think like them.
To be able to taste the freshness that children bring
to you with each day.
To be able to see that yo u have infl uenced a form
of growth.
To be able to smell a feeling of satisfaction wh ich a
child can give to you, and be able to turn around and
say one word . . . thanks for a beautiful experience.
To watch happiness and be able to hold hope in the
gra p of your hand.

When the white eagle of the North is flying overhead
The browns, reds and golds of autumn lie in gutter, dead.
Remember then, that summer birds with wings of fire flaying
Came to witness springs new hope, born of leaves decaying.
Just as new life will come from death, love will come at leisure.
Love of love, love of life and giving without measure
Gives in return a wondrous yearn of a promise almost seen.
Live hand-in-hand and together we'll stand on the threshold of a
dream.

�This yearbook, like most, probably will mean various things to
various people. To the staff and myself it means something special.
We wanted to show what Wesconn was like in I 971. We wanted to
show more than just who was in the Psychology Club and who lived
in the snack bar. We wanted to show what surrounded Wesconn in
I 971, what her people looked like, what they acted like, and with
what mood they lived.
Part of this mood encompasses a deja vu, part of it reflects the
enigma of age and the clash of generations, part of it reflects a disregard for human values.
We've spanned almost a century in the preceding pages. We've
shown Wesconn at the beginning of the century and shown what
Wesconn will be at the close of the century . . . 1971 lies somewhere
in between it all. And if there is one thing that emerges to the surface and means more than anything else in I971 it is youth - it is to
youth that we have dedicated this book.
Youth can occur at any age. The security and happiness of youth,
the mistakes, the spirit, the warmth and love, the laughter, and the
understanding and acceptance of youth are not just part of one generation but the unstated goal of all generations.
Wesconn is a place where youth both flourishes and stagnates. It
is a community of shared experience - both complex and simple. It
is a place where we are supposed to begin our age.
If we are to be the Children of Change and if WE are the Revolution, then we must begin with ourselves. We must reassess ourselves
and we must care about others.
Each being is different and being different is not bad. The individual is sacred and must remain so. Youth is sacred. Youth is constantly sought, but as youth is sought, age seeks.
We will go through our lives seeking much, but as we do we
should remain constantly aware of the simplicity of our youth, and
most of all, the sincerity and honesty of it.
Seek to capture the mystique of youth .

Danbury Preservation Trust Records, MS 039
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
summary: The Danbury Preservation Trust had its beginnings in 1978 during a faculty developed summer course entitled Living History, Reading the Connecticut Landscape, taught by Dr. Herbert F. Janick, Professor of History at Western Connecticut State College. After formal incorporation in January 1979, he became the Trust’s first president. The records of the Danbury Preservation Trust span the years 1978-1997. The collection includes surveys to identify structures that might be included on the National Register. The bulk of this collection consists of Architectural and Historic Resources Inventories that were conducted by the Trust between 1979 and 1986. The majority of the surveys contain a small black and white photograph of the structure.

Time Summary
A summary of an interview given for different time stamps throughout the interview
0:00-10:00
Bert Sacco employed by planning and zoning firm involved with Danbury Redevelopment post 1955 Flood; comprehensive planning ‘old city’ and ‘old town’ consolidation; firm continued flood control activities after 55’; concentrated MainStreet to White Street (northwest intersection) down towards Triangle St.(southeast Danbury); correcting roadway issues: too narrow and/or water pipelines, etc.; Organized projects around “first-need correction” in downtown Main St.; Funding availability crucial; H.U.D. granted credits for school land acquisitions- share from Federal Urban Renewal; Danbury High School largest land acquisition City owned and was qualified; Grant extended past D.H.S.; $20 million or so for other projects throughout the City; Canale and Lombardi were astute at knowing how to apply, extend the Federal funding, and get the maximum out of the boundaries to make projects happen; In the first corrective measure taken downtown, firm knew that the U.S. Army of Corp Engineers (USACE) would be involved, but illegible to provide Federal flood control funding for projects; City still responsible for all land acquisitions and utilities; Firm informed USACE’s engineers of Urban Renewal funds from D.H.S.; Asked for change in retaining walls for flood control and remove some bends, which they did; Utility relocation through Urban Renewal credit funds too; Disposition Clauses; Danbury Railroad bankruptcy; Relocation of railroad tracks and main loop; Wanted bridge to carry water from the Still River underneath the loop and wanted to be 3x bigger than originally planned; Strict Labor Laws; AMTRAK; Did not want any overlap of payments or workers out on the field between Danbury Railroad, USACE, and Danbury; Bert Sacco, Joseph E. Canale, and Jerry Lombardi attended meeting in New Haven where Danbury was minority; 21 people at meeting; All had their own interests for railroad project that they had to watch over; Firm/Commission had coordinated each piece carefully; Federal role in projects; Local office of H.U.D. funding powers and audit powers; All projects had to fall within H.U.D. national guidelines; Guidelines from a constructive standpoint were not difficult to follow; Coordination of administrative offices and agencies that one does not have any control over- proved to be an issue; USACE of engineers- were cooperative; Bill Burke; He hired the firm 1955 and then asked them back again Urban Renewal; 1965 had 20 meetings (Charlie Barlow, Matt Hamilton, Bill Burke, Bert Sacco, and others); Focused on Danbury as the ‘residential bedroom’ like Stamford or as an ‘economic center’.
10:01- 20:00
After 6 months of debate in meetings that year; Decision made Danbury needs to revert back to ‘traditional Danbury’ an industrial center; City Planning- Industrial Zoning; West side of town along 84 as ‘industrial’; East side industries implemented too - garbage dump mainly; Hefty performance standards initiated on westside- not so much for the eastside; Commission's idea was to protect industries from one another; Eastern end less of a worry- cohabitation of asphalt plant, garbage dump, stone terminal; All of which downsized downtown; Multi-family housing; Identified neighborhoods/areas were slipping and run-down; Large houses on northwest side; Large population leaving Deer Hill Ave. to westside of town or more rural sections; Incentive for investors to buy these larger houses and turn into multi-level apartments; Critical decision from commission at the time; Lots of things that have happened in the past 20 years was due to the decision made by that commission; If commision had decided to make it only 1 acre zoning as the smallest lot-Danbury would become a bedroom; Multi-family housing already happening in Danbury’s southeast section, so building incentive seen as continuation; Attitude of commission was to push industrial; Firm’s responsibility to provide data and projections to City, directed re-evaluation for taxes which helped waste program and sewer system; Federal only permitted Urban Renewal funding to start if comprehensive land survey and assessment of the City done; Beaver Street identified early as ‘worst area’ for housing interiors and crime; Firm attended State public hearings too; Shortage of low income and senior housing; Beaver Street deemed a mostly a flood zone, area that could not be used for housing- turned into park (Sauer Memorial Park); Implemented six-story housing residential buildings at southern end of Beaver Street near Rose St.; Lake Kenosia; State’s water program; If one looks at the history of the details in Danbury redevelopment projects, each one had a twofold reason for the project's start; Very rarely an isolated project; Union Carbide; Water pipelines in order to buy land for company; Large expense for them; City was only responsible to build access road off interstate 84 (exit one); But, Mayor Dan Decibella made commitment to the Union Carbide to do both; Danbury high unemployment rate which matched State’s initiative for accelerated Public Works program; Comission got bill together, approved by State, and water supply lines and road built through this program; Made good on promise to corporation; Created more jobs too; Part of firm’s task was to know where the money was, in order for City not to pay full amount or through grant programs; Yet, City’s responsibility to flood prone posts/roads like Patriot Dr.; Bill Goodman; Janick: Did you think this kind of redevelopment was the right way to go from your standpoint? What did you think of projects as an expert in field, regardless of what the commission finally decided to do? Sacco: Being someone from an Old New England town; Bothered that the City was starting to loose its identity as an industrial center; Tried to stay as objective as possible; Commission's decision was a sound one, though;

Differed in the 50’s compared to 60’s because town and city were not consolidated yet in the 50’s; Old Town (mostly residential) had no utilities compared to downtown old City; Larry Moore (principal at the firm during this time) dealt with different interests and different entities (City and Town) representatives too; Zones were different, intent was different from each; Used downtown utilities extended to other Old Town areas; Unification of these were crucial to funds for redevelopment projects; Sacco believes areas that could have been pushed more- Transportation; Traffic planning; Implementation tough; Somewhat easy to get funding for areas with deteriorated housing or flooding, water and sewers and so forth because each had funded programs; transportation infrastructure and City money; Wildman Street and White Street intersection -1963 proposal to straighten out road; Tough for a mayor to go ask City Planning for $300,000 to simply buy land to straighten road; People on council questioned local taxes; Role of Federal money crucial in changing the face of the city; Transportation issues still exist; Sacco identifies interstate system as biggest issue (Route 7 to Interstate 84); Traffic thru Danbury; State did not keep up with development of roadways, as it occurred; Used old Route 6’s traffic flow as benchmark for Interstate 84’s traffic projection (like 20,000 cars a day); Which then created 4 million sq. ft. of residential and office buildings around it, which is great, but this alone caused another 20,000 cars a day using the interstate; Pushed offices and small businesses in corridor, now that corridor is crowded; A number of routes and roads were suggested by Sacco’s firm for better traffic flow; Airport juncture back up to South Street continuing to parts of Patriot Drive, section of Balmforth Ave.; Land acquisitions for City; Parking along Main Street - Sacco’s firm proposed widening Main Street to 5 lanes; Pretty major surgery needed at the intersection of Main Street and North Street for traffic; All these proposed changes looked good on paper, but meant someone had to make a cash commitment; Janick: Is this a pattern for a lot of communities, Danbury any different?
Sacco: Yes, a pattern across the board, but was different due to the fact that Danbury grew more intensely in short period of time; Traffic grew more intensely than any other city in CT; If one looks at population growth rate versus any other city of the same size in the State (Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, Stamford too), Danbury stands on its own in comparison; Sacco recalls Danbury being 9th in the State as far as size, but 4th in growth rate; Serious impact on Interstate 84 and Route 7; Growth pattern- crowding along major highways; Residential roadways are now dealing with high density of traffic; Highway corridors are crowded throughout the State;
30:01-37:45
Tough keeping the character of Danbury as it was; Combination of preservation for older buildings while maintaining new growth; Keeping open space and quality of life so that it does not change dramatically; Large amount of open space areas identified by firm; Many were eventually purchased through Federal funding; Golf course on west side was one of the areas identified as one (Richter Park); Yet, Richter land was originally donated to the city by Irene Richter (as memorial for deceased husband); Now a Danbury attraction; Subdivision regulations; Zoning was set up for areas of buffering around this land to protect; More historic preservation since the late 70’s along with new environmental laws for wetlands; Advocated that conservation and development can coexist, and really feed off of one another; Houses are not as valuable if trees and bodies of water are not running near property; Neighboring developer benefits too; Sacco explains firm's current land analysis project in Massachusetts with housing developer near/on wetland; Real-estate developer can make more money by leaving open space with less units, but many do not understand this concept, just want as many as possible; Even though more money spent in process of removing the stone and trees to then put back in; Conservation is difficult for developers to comply with, especially in Fairfield County has such high amount paid per unit; Land analysis at lot by lot basis with conservation; Danbury lost financial eligibility because of its prosperity, no longer qualified for Federal programs; Sacco identifies key individuals in Danbury’s growth and history: Chairman of the Planning Commission, Jerry Lombardi, Charlie Pusecelli, Matt Hamilton, former Danbury mayors: Gino Arconti, Dan Decibella, and then James Dyer (Sacco has not worked much with); Large emphasis on Bill Goodman’s decisions (former City Planning Commissioner) and Joseph E. Canale’s role in redevelopment.
