The City of Norwalk;

Members of the Common Council

and others to whom it may concern:

NOISE ORDINANCE

Most of the people signing this petition will be adversely affected and vehemently oppose the proposed change to Norwalk’s noise ordinance. Each of us either works in Norwalk, owns a business in Norwalk or resides in Norwalk. Each of us would be adversely affected were the proposed noise ordinance enacted.

Because of its nightlife, restaurants and entertainment offerings, South Norwalk has become a beacon for the City’s present growth and development. South Norwalk as it currently exists is a true entertainment district and draws people from miles around. South Norwalk is and has been an economic generator for the City of Norwalk.

Some of us have purchased businesses in Norwalk under the auspices of the currently existing noise regulations.

We believe it unfair, harmful to South Norwalk’s attraction as an entertainment destination; detrimental to an important economic engine of the City, and legally suspect were the City to adopt a more restrictive ordinance after the fact.

With your assistance, we believe that South Norwalk can continue to be an economic driver for the City.
