Despite a driving rain, historic district residents came out to a town-hall-style meeting with Mayor John Harkins on Thursday night. Mayor Harkins spoke with the group for over an hour, addressing both local and town-wide concerns, such as commuter parking, Stratford Center revitalization, Shakespeare Theater, AVCO, Long Beach West and, perhaps most importantly, Harkins' long-term vision for Stratford.
The Mayor stressed a need for "looking forward," restoring optimism and working together as citizens of a great community. He noted there were many challenges ahead, but the focus now is on solutions, not problems. Despite a severe shortage of funding, the Mayor is optimistic about the changes that will be taking place in Stratford with the support and helping hands of all its citizens.
OSNA wishes to extend warm thanks to both Mayor Harkins and Christ Church for an informative evening.
