What Would You Build in Stratford?

Stratford, CT - Earlier this week, Stratford 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 Stratford:

• "A casino"
• "A gym!"
• "A pizzeria...a Dunkin' Donuts...a gym."
• "I know a million wouldn't cover it, but I think our town is always divided on so many things; starting with our high schools. I just think we should have had one giant school. They'd have a better experience, especially with athletics. There would have been some super teams, maybe even more championships."
