Boy, it's a good thing New London, CT, took that land for public use

Land Remains Barren After Homes Torn Down

Maybe the public can use it for a four-wheeler course or something . . .

"Unfortunately it created a lot of negative impressions in the financial and larger markets because of the notoriety of the lawsuits," Jones said."

Got that people? When the gov't takes your home, don't complain or they won't be able to build anything on the grounds!

Its an old land use law trick-tie up the project long enough and changing economic conditions will make it unfeasible. Especially effective here because the state of CT pulled out of this hot potato, unexpectedly leaving the entire financial cost on the city.

Why do you think there haven't been any nuclear power plants constructed in the US for decades?

Personally, I doubt the project is completely dead, it will be revitalized in some form.

The housing and finance markets have gone straight in to the crapper, no surprise. There are a lot of planned projects not getting off the ground these days. Almost everything with a sizable housing component outside maybe a few urban centers is DOA.


At least three utility companies have filed new applications with the NRC for reactor construction. The cost, public perception, and lengthy NRC license process can take a decade to get a new plant online. Times have changed however and the public is much more receptive to the idea of more nuclear power as the costs for our fossil energy skyrocket.

No surprise at all. Nearly everything govt touches turns to shit.

I live in New London. The difference between what was reported in the media and the actual reality of the situation (not about this, but about Kelo vs. New London a few years back) was pretty funny to watch.

I am betting the property will be sold cheaply to some developer friend of the mayors.

K1052, you could be correct about future nuclear plants, time will tell. My point is the even if we do have future new nuclear plants, it will at least a decade, probably two, before they actually start operation (if then).

Ya, some idiot thought the government could even put a man on the moon, remember that?

What an ideological culty you are, spouting the same nonsense and oblivious to facts.

Why don't you expand on that, for the novel idea of some real facts being included in the discussion?

The 79-acre Fort Trumbull project is spearheaded by the New London Development Corporation, a quasi-public development arm of the city.

NLDC selected developer Corcoran Jennison to find new tenants for the property and build 80 townhouses.

Channel 3 Eyewitness News reporter Kevin Hogan reported that where homes once stood, the land is now barren.

He reported that Corcoran and Jennison is having problems securing the $18 million that's needed to build the townhouses.

The city said the clock on its extension to find the funding is running out.

"When things change in your projects, when things change in the economy, you sit down with your public partners and you share what's going on, look at the numbers, look at the situation, and talk about what the long-term goal is," Jones said.

Disgusting.

This was the headline that I declared the U.S. Officially a Communist Country.

I still stand by that statement.

Do the former homeowners have any options?

Is the 3 year old Supreme Court decision set in stone or under appeal?

He said "nearly" not "all"... Sheesh.

For every moon shot you trumpet there's a million dollar outhouse or failed land grab (x100000000) that can be cited in response.

Nothing fails all the time, but nothing tries harder to hit that 100% fail mark than government.

Enlighten us. Always happy to hear first hand accounts.

How do you appeal a Supreme Court decision? There's always the legislative override option, but that's not an appeal.

And what does putting a man on the moon and stealing property from people and let it sit idling have in common?

Look in the mirror bunky.

You can't, though the court might elect to reverse/revise its position at some point in the future (when it has different members presumably). You could pass a constitutional amendment but that is a touch harder than getting a regular law passed.
