What Would You Build in Groton?

Groton, CT - Earlier this week, Groton Patch asked our Facebook readers what they would build or fix in town if they were given $1 million.

Readers from across the area responded with answers varying from new playgrounds, renovated high schools and improved hospitals.

Also early this week, U.S. News and World Report released its list of the Top 10 Children’s Hospitals Across the Country. The hospitals were ranked in terms of “clinical outcomes,” “efficient coordination of care,” and “care-related resources.”

The publication periodically releases lists regarding the best schools in the country as well as most livable cities. Many of the things that make a town or city ‘livable’ are resources and public spaces i.e. good schools, roads, parks, libraries, etc. Not surprisingly, these were many of the things readers said they would build or fix in their town if granted $1 million to do so.

Here’s what your neighbors said they would build in Groton:

• "An all inclusive community center with a pool, playgrounds, running track, and baseball fields, etc. in one place for residents at a minimal annual charge. With a rent-able hall and kitchen."
• "Better public transit and parking."
• "Community center - that's mainly for youth and teens...With William Steeley closing where are all those programs going to go?"
• "Fix the Mystic Education center. It has a pool and workout room."
• "A warm water pool!"
