The neighborhood’s 19th-century storm water drainage system was of particular concern, Plassmann said, as it is already under considerable stress due to development in the area and runoff from Interstate 91, she said. Some worried that the fairgrounds increased capacity would only exacerbate the problem, she said.
“I don’t want to see drainage spilling into someone’s property,” she said. “I want to make sure it is handled properly. Hopefully with the revitalization project, upgrades that need to be made will be made.”
