The Economic Development Commission toured Groton’s future development sites by bus on Thursday, learning about each site from Economic Development Manager Paige Bronk.

“This way, when we’re talking now we all have the same vision, through his eyes,” Commission Chairwoman Catherine Young said.

The tour stopped at Mystic Education Center, the intersection of Routes 117 and 184, at Gold Star Highway, the former William Seely School, Groton Heights, Thames Street, Leonard Drive near the Groton New-London Airport and in downtown.

When developers visit any one of the sites, Bronk said they always ask him, “What else (have) you got?” He distributed a folder with details of the properties, including photos, maps, descriptions and the particulars about acres, buildings, square footage and nearby amenities.
