“Dilemma of Teardowns”

Fifth grader Claire Sampson, 10, today presented her workshop project “The Dilemma of Teardowns” to her fellow students at Saugatuck Elementary School. Claire was absent due to illness when her fellow students presented other workshop projects about issues facing Westport last week at Bedford Middle School. Claire said that she researched her project on WestportNow and in particular its “Teardown of the Day” feature. She also interviewed a number of local officials, including First Selectman Gordon Joseloff, Planning and Zoning personnel, and a real estate agent. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
