My thoughts - The report appears to a comprehensive and thoughtful look at what could be a bright future for the Town of New Milford. "The plan builds on the input gathered from more than 20 stakeholder interviews, three public workshops with more than 400 participants (digital and in person), multiple design team charrettes, consultation with the New Milford Town Council, and guidance from the Riverfront Revitalization Committee and Brownfield Area-Wide Revitalization Planning Grant Committee who met regularly over the year-long-plus process." According to the New Milford Riverfront Revitalization Report: While the Mayor is integral in this process he's part of a much larger group of people, as he mentioned. I can see it, that was a phenomenal elevator pitch. If they pull this all off, I'm moving back to New Milford. That is kind of what we would see, hopefully in 10 years." We want to make it really where it kind of attaches to the downtown area as well so that you have a true relationship with the river to downtown which is what we all want. Then, right next to the green space is the Public Works area, we're actually in the process of moving those that whole facility over to Century Brass which is about half a mile down the road and freeing up all of that area so we can redevelop all of that. We'd expand the skate park, expand the basketball and tennis courts there as well and they'll also be a lot of green space for people to be able to relax and enjoy the view of the riverfront and all of the wonderful activities that would happen in that area. Also, for those who have been to Young's Field there is a steep incline to go up to Patriot's Way, we're looking at part of that to kind of lessen the elevations so to speak to make it a little smoother so in the winter people can sled down there as well. They'll be a band shell down there so we can do live performances by the river. Then, down there you will hopefully have a splash pad that will convert to an ice skating rink in the winter time.

These particular community ball fields will hopefully be in the Route 7 area. They'll be multiple baseball, softball fields, all purpose fields for football, soccer, lacrosse, they'll also be a BMX bike track, pickleball courts there as well. "You'd come over Veteran's Bridge into Downtown, you'd be making a left to go on Young's Field Road and what currently is the green space which has the tennis courts and the skate park and the ball fields, you'd have the ball fields we're going to be moving those to a state of the art community ball field.

If you had everything go your way, what would New Milford's Riverfront look like in 10 years?
