Flood Control Plan Draws 200 at Public Hearing
More than 200 residents attended a public hearing in Trumbull on two proposed flood control projects. A 130 foot dam across the Hequernack River and a 200 acre floodplain creation were discussed for post 1967 construction, with town officials backing the plan despite opposition arguing benefits favor Bridgeport. The hearing, led by Col. Edward Ribbs and project engineer William Slagle Jr., aimed to record views for a final report to the Army Engineers and Congress. The area affected stretches from north of Tait Road to north of Whitney Avenue. It will be at least three years before action.
