Description

It appears someone had beat me to this issue already as it continues to generate fairly accurate opinion through many WEB and other media outlets. Good question, will it be in the age or generation of the valley baby-boomers to see a visual change to the buildings on upper East Main and lower North Main Streets? Example, the next half of decade? By the largest media account this "YouTube" link below has also awakened me like 3,184 others through comment stating the town of Ansonia is either a fire trap or some kind of pit. It is YouTube number 1 by categorically doing a simple-search “Ansonia, CT” in the search bar. What a grand entrance to the town & label to the internet’s hottest site seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfdsYTHaT9o
Did a superintendent miss something on clean-up day?

LOL, Hilltop_Looking_Down
Obviously some statements contained within the many media blogs specifically geared towards the building conditions and owners state they are privately owned and hold many challanges due to contamination. The funny part is the towns administration who volunteer their time for the better interests of the city are making slow progress on the old Farrel Lab building on East Main but it will probably decades of decay for the largest mess on North Main and Main streets. It seems kind of sad town meetings and blight studies can focus on a homeowner with limited property space and the you have an enormous mess slap-dad in the middle of its own city within the very steps of town hall.
Stop complaining there is not much that can be done unless a blight officer or other issues a fine or aggressive proposal to the Farrell and other industrial property owners as a wake-up call.
Just do what I am seriously considering. Move out of town as Ansonia will then loose its best and a city volunteer that I am. The building owners paying tax dollars is one thing but on the downside many also see how it is scaring off economic business newcomers.

If someone proposed a law allowing US manufacturing companies have to only meet China's pollution standards, would you support that law?

This is complaining about the symptom, not addressing the root problem.

OK so if in fact one was to complain about the symptom, which is more than obvious to even a new comer to the town or even to a long time resident. The decay of the neighboring buildings will continue clot the favorable concepts of fully open and working arteries that will be most beneficially to a healthy heart beat of a down town economy. Would you eat bacon 3 times a day if your doctor said your heart attack will re-occur again this week if you continue your eating habits....of course not because doing so is so predictable if you were aware of your insides or in this case your surroundings. If you want to see the concept behind the root of your problem simply leave the decaying tree planted in the ground and watch how the cancer spreads through lack of medication. The medication being the lack of interested business and instead a growing depressed area supported by low a income population or a company that is barely breathing and does not care about how it looks or feels to the outside. It is so prevalent in the area today. Wake-up…. the illness has already imbedded itself. I guarantee you it will spread if left unchecked as you continue to watch the growing social cases and shopping cart population grow beyond control as they walk your own Main, East and North Main street crown jewel center.
See ya later Ansonia as you continue to fall behind the times of economic success.

What your referring to is a called a renovation, not a Ansonia Clean up day.
Getting involved and beautifying the city by picking up small pieces of trash around heavily traveled areas and presenting environmentally responsible habits is the idea on clean-up day!
Home owners were asked to do the same.
Unfortunately I feel for your comments as these buildings you refer to encompass some of the largest land mass and structures within the town which does affect our personal property values in some manner. They continue to duck the bullet in respect to any clean-up. Sadly it is a heavily traveled area reflecting our town center.
Can anything, anything be done? Maybe some simple paint, siding repair or glass repair as I do to my own home by way of compliance.
