Meriden: Deal to buy the land and buildings next to Factory H. This is a good idea, but of course may run into opposition over the price. But the place has been idle for years now, and nothing good can happen to factory H without this being a part of it. It’s a fine location for a riverine development, some garden apartments, some greenery, some light commerce, along the beautified river banks. Take a look at what West Haven has done with the area which used to be Savin Park.
