The residents and property owners of the Norwichtown Historic District are concerned about how future development on Town Street may affect the historical integrity and the quality of life of the neighborhood.

The Norwichtown Historic District and the Norwichtown Burying Ground are important historic assets which must be protected.  We request that the Norwich City Council consider amending the zoning regulations to encourage compatible development and support historic preservation in this historic district.

We request that the City Council:

1- Amend zoning regulations to include site plan review for buildings less than 10,000 sq.ft. within and close to the historic district.

2- Adopt Village District regulations for the Norwichtown Historic District.

3- Consider additional regulation changes in order to protect the distinctive character and physical integrity of this historic neighborhood.
