Stamford Snow Delays and Debates Over Zoning Plans
Stamford planners face a zoning controversy as new developments emerge despite unresolved interim rules. A proposed four-trailer-per-acre park by Leroy Lawrence raises questions about proper sequencing of interim and permanent zoning, while attorney Frank J. Opie hints at continuing a 3,400 acre project despite town approvals. Officials warn prolonged legal fights could strain the town’s finances, as hearings and a public interim zoning session are scheduled.

President Nixon announces a plan to spend 1.5 billion dollars over two years to address desegregation in schools while opposing forced busing. He emphasizes local control within constitutional limits and proposes creating 500 million in 1971 and 1 billion in 1972 to support integration efforts, aiming to reduce public confusion and avoid mandatory neighborhood redrawing.
