Opinion: Will UNH Campus Come to Orange?

The building that would house the graduate school

A couple of months ago the Zoning Board of Appeals denied the University of New Haven’s request for a variance in order to move into the former Harvey Hubbell building.

The denials took everyone by surprise because the plans were SO well thought out and presented, it didn’t make sense that the town didn’t jump on the opportunity.

The next move was going before the Zoning Board and the decision was pushed off to another date until UNH had a couple of other approvals from town departments.

Well, it’s not ALL bad news for UNH, and we shouldn’t write them off just yet.

The Orange Police Traffic Authority approved the plans that went before them last month, (I believe the other paperwork they needed also was submitted) opening the door for UNH’s people to once again go in front of the Town Plan & Zoning Commission for their blessing.

Tonight’s the night. The TP&Z meets at Town Hall at 7:30 p.m. and UNH is on the agenda again.

In the past 17 years of covering this town, I have Never before seen anyone as well prepared and well spoken as the attorney and architects for UNH.

The addition of this satellite campus would be a great asset to the town of Orange, and I certainly hope that they receive their final approval tonight.

If you would like to know what happens as it’s happening, click on the OGAT button on our Orange Live front page and tune in on your computer or smart phone at 7:30 p.m. Or go to the meeting at Town Hall.
