Taking Shape

Six months after buildings on Westport’s Riverside Avenue were demolished (See WestportNow April 30, 2010) work is progressing on the first phase of the Saugatuck Center retail, office, and residential development set for completion in spring 2011. Picture was taken today; bottom is the artist’s rendering of the site. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Bob Eckman for WestportNow.com, Contributed graphic

Don’t get too excited. These people were the first tp bromg Westport oversized houses on postage stamp lots. See Gault Avenue.

Mr. Perlah,
You sure do have a lot to say!
May I ask – what have you done to contribute to the well being of Westport and it’s residents?
This development and the others that the Gault family has done are fantastic additions to this community and we should be thankful to them for beautifying this area.

Let’s see – Gault Avenue – beautiful, sought-after homes where there was once a GRAVEL PIT; Saugatuck Center – finally a beautiful and sensitive use of a riverfront location which formerly was being used for material storage and had a big oil tank on it – I’d say hats off the Gault family for the many pro-Westport things they do, including the improvement of the two areas identified by Mr. Perlah
