It appears someone had beat me to this issue already as it continues to generate fairly accurate opinion through many WEB and other media outlets. Good question, will it be in the age or generation of the valley baby-boomers to see a visual change to the buildings on upper East Main and lower North Main Streets? Example, the next half of decade? By the largest media account this "YouTube" link below has also awakened me like 3,184 others through comment stating the town of Ansonia is either a fire trap or some kind of pit. It is YouTube number 1 by categorically doing a simple-search “Ansonia, CT” in the search bar. What a grand entrance to the town & label to the internet’s hottest site seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfdsYTHaT9o
Did a superintendent miss something on clean-up day?

Obviously some statements contained within the many media blogs specifically geared towards the building conditions and owners state they are privately owned and hold many challanges due to contamination. The funny part is the towns administration who volunteer their time for the better interests of the city are making slow progress on the old Farrel Lab building on East Main but it will probably decades of decay for the largest mess on North Main and Main streets. It seems kind of sad town meetings and blight studies can focus on a homeowner with limited property space and the you have an enormous mess slap-dad in the middle of its own city within the very steps of town hall.
Stop complaining there is not much that can be done unless a blight officer or other issues a fine or aggressive proposal to the Farrell and other industrial property owners as a wake-up call.
Just do what I am seriously considering. Move out of town as Ansonia will then loose its best and a city volunteer that I am. The building owners paying tax dollars is one thing but on the downside many also see how it is scaring off economic business newcomers.

If someone proposed a law allowing US manufacturing companies have to only meet China's pollution standards, would you support that law?
This is complaining about the symptom, not addressing the root problem.

See ya later Ansonia as you continue to fall behind the times of economic success.

Getting involved and beautifying the city by picking up small pieces of trash around heavily traveled areas and presenting environmentally responsible habits is the idea on clean-up day!
Home owners were asked to do the same.
Unfortunately I feel for your comments as these buildings you refer to encompass some of the largest land mass and structures within the town which does affect our personal property values in some manner. They continue to duck the bullet in respect to any clean-up. Sadly it is a heavily traveled area reflecting our town center.
Can anything, anything be done? Maybe some simple paint, siding repair or glass repair as I do to my own home by way of compliance.
