Speakers

Come join us for an evening event in downtown Westbrook.  We'll have pizza and dessert set up with non-alcoholic beverages.  Or grab a beverage of choice at one of the local businesses like Quill or Westbrook House of Pizza and join us for conversation as we listen to Henry Saunders speak about Westbrook's urban renew project that started in the 1970s and ended around 1981 with the demolition of the Scates building.  Get the inside scoop on a project that reshaped Wetstbrook.

Weather permitting, we'll be gathering in Blue Note Park (Westbrook Commons) at the tables next to Westbrook House of Pizza. If its raining, we'll stil be there, just inside of Quill Books & Beverage. We hope you will join us.

Here is a link to an interesting article in the American Journal from July  2011: http://news.keepmecurrent.com/the-legacy-of-urban-renewal-30-years-on-westbrooks-downtown-still-hasnt-recovered/
