NORWICH – In order to determine the location of some underutilized city sites and to provide for their return to public use, a public meeting will be held at 7 p.m. next Monday at the City Courthouse.

It will be the first in a three-part planning study for the Opportunities to Revitalize Norwich Program.

The city received funding for the program through a grant from the Department of State’s Brownfield Opportunity Areas Program, and will be using it to conduct a study designed to identify abandoned, vacant or underutilized sites on the east side of the city, in an effort to potentially revitalize them.

The study is restricted to sites located on the east side of Broad Street.
