Mayor Malloy Honored for Spearheading Mill River Restoration
On Monday, November 23rd, city employees, Mill River Project supporters and the Mill River Collaborative assembled to recognize Mayor Dannel P. Malloy for accomplishing what was inconceivable for many decades – removal of the Mill Pond dam and walls and the restoration of Mill River. Robin Stein, Chief of the Land Use Bureau set the tone with his statement of the history of the project and Mayor Malloy’s role. The group assembled at the site of the newly reconstructed river channel and Arthur Selkowitz, Chairman of the Mill River Collaborative presented Mayor Malloy with the following inscription in granite that will memorialize his contribution to the creation of Mill River Park & Greenway.

Greenway Design Workshop
Initial design concepts for the Greenway between Scalzi Park and Mill River Park will be shared with the public at a workshop on Thursday December 10th. Design consultants Milone & MacBroom will be on hand to discuss and receive feedback and suggestions on their initial design schemes.

The plans are intended to lead to the restoration of the native plant environment along the west side of the river and the creation of a continuous path for walking, jogging and cycling.

Help Us Keep Making History
Please take this end of year opportunity to make a tax-deductible gift to the Mill River Collaborative and help keep the Mill River Project moving forward. While the city provides some of our funding, most of our direct support comes from the people, corporations and organizations of Stamford.

Since 2002, over $3.6 million in private funding to the Mill River Collaborative from hundreds of people, corporations and organizations has made the planning, project management and implementation of the Mill River Park & Greenway possible. Please join all of us as a Collaborative member with a contribution that is personally appropriate for you. Membership is affordable to everyone and the payoff is already priceless. See photos of the river in its new channel at www.millriverpark.com.

It is now becoming evident what an effective public/private partnership can achieve in bringing a brighter, greener future for Downtown. Much remains to be done, however, and your participation will help create a green legacy that future generations in Stamford will cherish. How often does a city the size of Stamford have the opportunity to create a major green space in the heart of its downtown? With your help, it will be done.

As a Collaborative member you will be invited to new events that are being planned for the park in 2010 and will be kept up to date on latest designs and developments. So please make your tax-deductible contribution and join the Collaborative today.
