"Wesley Horton and Thomas Londregan, the attorneys for the city, celebrated the court decision as a vindication of the work the city's planners had done in crafting a development scheme that would benefit the public through tax dollars, jobs and a new public walkway along the river.
“This case was never about taking from one person to give to another. It was not some kind of land grab,” Londregan said. “It was about New London, its six square miles and its economic survival.”
He and Horton said it was the careful development plan that proved the city's good intentions and won over the court to their side. "
