Norwalk Growth Committee Builds Case for Industrial Expansion
Industrial development is a tough competitive game with hundreds of towns vying for industry. A May 1977 SBA study lists potential local gains in Norwalk including 100 new factory jobs, 91 more children, $710,000 in personal income, 100 more households, and $331,000 in retail sales. The Growth Committee of the Norwalk Chamber of Commerce, led by engineer Ergun Baharoglu, champions expanding beyond industry to attract housing and commercial growth. The committee, now largely nonindustrial, faces challenges in wooing firms and overcoming rival attitudes among some established firms.
