To prevent a generational decision to quickly be made without fully understanding/evaluating scope, Norwalk's financial commitment, having a traffic and flooding solution and having a clear picture of the ecological impact of creating a major recreation destination center

As a Norwalk resident and taxpayer - and as an owner of a business located on Water Street in Norwalk, I’m opposed to the new vision for Manressa. I support a public park but do not support resort-style development. I am opposed to footing the bill (as a taxpayer) for the infrastructure necessary to support the new vision for Manressa.

There is already enough traffic and congestion. Building has gotten out of control. Norwalk needs to keep this area as green space

Imagine if the McChords had simply presented a plan to remove the power plant buildings and create a beautiful park instead of the resort they want to build... There would have been no opposition to that, and an awesome use of the property. But this huge plan is completely incompatible with the surrounding roadways and neighborhoods. SCALE IT BACK! 2500 CARS A DAY? NO WAY!!!

Zoning change would be like 1- allowing them to put a six flags on that property 2-if there’s B&Bs and hotels it’s like opening up memories, wild 24 hours a day3-I haven’t heard anyone talk about the capacity. What is the capacity per day of visitors to Man reset 1000 3000 I haven’t heard a number.4-and I’d like to see in writing something prohibiting them from making their water access into a ferry like the ferry in Bridgeport and a ferry to Long Island

This project was introduced to the community far differently than what it has become— and it shows no signs of stopping. It undermines the very spirit of small business hospitality through the influx of radical, massive commercialization on our humble, quiet shoreline. Independent restaurant owners would be well served to protect their interests and object to this veiled “philanthropic” masquerade that would destroy the quaint, charming Manresa neighborhood and depress our beautiful City.

My concern is that the proposed zoning goes way beyond the original project plan. Traffic, infrastructure, emergency access, long-term care about Norwalk neighborhoods are all major concerns.
Too much traffic, being over built.

One way in + one way out = gridlock
