The results shed light on what is working not only in New Haven, but as a model for downtown districts elsewhere in the state and nation.
Following remarks will be distribution of the full press release - including high-quality digital photo images of the venue suitable for reprint. Selected interviews to take place immediately following. Your coverage of this interactive event is most welcome.
