Where We Live: Making Use Of Old Buildings
CT has lots of old buildings. So why do we knock so many down to build new ones?
New England is filled with old buildings. So why do we knock so many down to build new ones?
Investing in existing buildings makes financial, economic, and environmental sense – yet few people understand it as an economic and environmental planning tool for our state.
Today, where we live, we’ll talk about the economic benefits of historic preservation as we preview an upcoming forum called “New Money from Old Places.”
Do you have old buildings that you think could be put to better use? Are you part of a historical preservation project?

CT DEP is one reason.
They've become extremely autocratic to a point of arrogance, refusing to work with anyone and frequently getting things so tied up that nothing happens at all while buildings sit empty and decay.
