Stamford Mayor Opposes 800-Unit Apartment Building

STAMFORD, CT — City Mayor David Martin said it is, "...obvious to just about everyone," that the proposed 800-unit Long Ridge apartment complex proposal is too intense and doesn't fit in with the surrounding community.

"We recognize the uniqueness of each neighborhood, a few of which have undergone significant change over the last few years," he said. "However, what works in the South End does not work in Glenbrook or Springdale. What works in the Downtown does not work in the Mid-Ridges or North Stamford. And we need to be thoughtful about that and protect our precious neighborhoods."

The matter is scheduled to go before the Planning Board Wednesday. If the board gives it an unfavorable review the project would need a super majority at the Zoning Board to pass, according to the Stamford Advocate.
