ALTERNATIVES

There is no need for the Y to abandon Downtown. There are numerous sites and plans already laid out that serve the Westport Community better.

This page will outline some of these sites and plans and questions why the Y hasn't or won't utilize one of them.

This page is under construction. Pictures and diagrams to follow

Options Still Available
Stay at present location and renovate
Imperial Lot - offered by the Town in the Downtown Plan
Baldwin Lot
Baron's South
Baron's South - Adjacent Property
Norden Property
Police Station

Options No longer available, but could have been used
(why weren't any of these used?)
Tera Nova Property (on Post Road across from Wild Oats)
Police Barracks (Post Road & Sherwood Island)
Pepperidge Farm Property (next to Terra Nova)

The Y needs to justify to the Town and its residents their position to leave Downtown and build a 94,000 sq foot Commercial facility in a residential neighborhood.
