The act gives towns such as Ansonia more power to offer economic incentives aimed at problem problem properties such as the former Ansonia Copper and Brass in the downtown area.

Finally, O’Malley gives her two cents on the Route 34 widening project in Derby. The project still hasn’t gone out to bid, but a state contractor recently began dismantling buildings on the south side of Main Street to make room for the expanded road.
