Redding officials have gotten an update on the town's 10-year Plan of Conservation and Development.  Milone & MacBroom representatives Mike Zuba and Elizabeth Esposito presented the survey results. 

Positive results in the community survey were overall quality of life, including the sense of community, town services and rural life. Georgetown business growth was listed as a high priority.  Other strengths noted were senior housing, open space and streetscapes/beautification. 

The weaknesses included lack of housing choices, cost of living, and market gaps for services and amenities. 

The results also indicated an interest in swimming/skating areas. 

One resident at the meeting questioned the status of the Georgetown development at the former Gilbert and Bennet Wire Mill site.  First Selectwoman Julia Pemberton said the taxation and foreclosure case against Georgetown Land Development Corporation was before the Connecticut Supreme Court, though no decision was immediately rendered.  Another resident suggested once the tax issue is resolved and there is development, it should be a  hybrid model.  Pemberton said work and meeting space among traditional retail space is a possibility. 

In response to a resident who suggested the use of a marketing consultant, Pemberton said there is nothing to market at this time.
