CT NEMO recently printed its first official impact report
dedicated to the work of the NEMO Program in Connecticut. The report
describes the origin, objectives and progress of the program and includes
a number of exciting new initiatives that have begun during this past
year.
The main body of the Report, however, is given over to portrayals
of selected towns that have worked with NEMO, and the ways that these
towns are taking charge of their community’s future development
patterns. The report profiles Old Saybrook, Waterford, Woodstock,
Salem, Central Naugatuck Valley, Watertown, East Haddam, Candlewood
Lake Authority and Stonington. The examples detailed in the report, while they represent
only a portion of the good work being done around the state, demonstrate
the power of local citizens to bring about positive change in their
communities.
To order a copy of the report, free of charge, visit the CT Impact
Reports section of the Publications page.
