Not to sure what the issue is on this post....could be personal. Beyond that many Ansonia residents you can easily ballot feel this structure and the structures across from the firehouse or Armory block should have been leveled over 30 years ago. Hurting Ansonia's comeback revival ten-fold.
SAD Farrell Corp is moving to its new location in Ansonia only to leave their current mess behind like a child not cleaning its room.

Sorry for the single spelling error, last word ( leverage). Fat fingers and tiny cell-phone keys on the error.
I could blame it on my entire Ansonia Education profile. Union teachers were pretty much unavalable and pushed many of us out the door like products from China in recent years. That is another topic though involving the well documented private and state study standings proofing how Ansonia fails in education compliance mandates. Well ....my graduating class & fellow team mates were good at banging our skulls around in football at the least. No problem just saving to move to a cleaner town at a young age.

Hi Grateful Snsonian. You are so right about the public education and teacher's unions. They only care about the money they make. It is not just an Ansonia problem. Public school education is horrible. Not even close to the education provided by private schools. We all suffer from this mess economically. That is why Charter schools are popping up everywhere.
They have much better education for "our" children than any public school has ever offered.
As for English as a second language, it is such a slap in the face to all the , hard working, Slavic speaking people that came here after WWII. No one ever helped them in any way. They pulled their own weight and had to learn English before getting a job. The new generation of politicians are catering to lazy , unAmerican,, hand out seeking people. On the other hand it is a good idea to learn at least another language. Most foreignors speak at least two languages.

I THINK the garbled original post was to comment on ONE of the factory buildings downtown (across from Crave) that a developer purchased and PROMISED to have converted into apartments, etc by now. Instead, there was a banner and now plywood on the windows.

The problem? NO ONE is going to invest in converting an old Ansonia factory building into apartments nor retail space. It would cost a fortune and there are no people willing to pay the high rents that would be needed to recover the costs.

So, the developer is stuck now owning a vacant factory and having made a ton of promises.

SOLUTION. ALL of the abandoned factory buildings in downtown Ansonia need to be TORN DOWN, their land cleaned up and it either becomes open space (a park would be lovely for now) or re-developed with NEW buildings.

Until that happens.. EYESORE.
