P&Z Decides Philip Johnson Glass House Plan
The organization wanted to increase the number of people who could attend various events, but some neighbors objected.
NEW CANAAN, CT- The Planning and Zoning Commission decided that the Philip Johnson Glass House could increase the number of people at its annual fundraiser from 250 to 400, but only for a one year trial period.
The organization would then report back to the commission on noise, traffic and other factors, according to the New Canaanite.
There will also be five programmatic events per year for between 51 and 150 attendees. They will focus on the history of the historic site.
