Willimantic Ice Plant Cost Question Sparks City Debate
Vincent S. Whitney, a member of the municipal ice plant commission, says $200,000 is not enough to build the plant the city wants. Willimantic spent $9,000 for ice houses and machinery, while Bridgeport spends far more. Whitney argues the project cannot be fit to Bridgeport needs for $260,000, and the council and mayor never pressed for a formal report.
