SUMMARY:Lecture - Zoning and Exclusion in West Hartford\, Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Zoning and Exclusion in West Hartford\, Then and Now\nMay 16 at 6:00 PM at the Noah Webster House \nRegistration required. Click here to register! \nThe origins of residential zoning in Connecticut can be traced back to West Hartford’s attempt to block a Hartford Jewish grocer from building a store in a residential neighborhood. Although town leaders failed to block this store\, they sparked a statewide political movement to create stronger legal tools to control real estate development and exclude certain types of property – and people. This program will explore how West Hartford instituted Connecticut’s first zoning regulations in 1924 and efforts today to address economic segregation wrought by zoning over the past 100 years. \nSpeakers:\nJack Dougherty\, Professor and Director of Educational Studies\, Trinity College\nVictoria Asfalg\, Policy and Data Analyst\, Open Communities Alliance \nCo-sponsored by the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford and the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society \nAdmission:  FREE \nRegistration required. Click here to register! \nSeating:  Limited to 50 Guests \nThe Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society is located at 227 South Main Street.
