 | | Mansfield Mayor Elizabeth Paterson believes the number-one reason prospective students choose not to attend UConn is that there is no downtown Storrs. |
 | | In part to remedy that problem, in addition to strengthening local businesses and bringing in more tax revenue, the Mansfield Downtown Partnership, between the Town of Mansfield, the University of Connecticut and area businesses, is taking steps towards the creation of Storrs Center -- a mixed-use downtown Mansfield, built almost entirely from scratch. |
 | | Toledano says it will be a challenge to imitate the organic quality of traditional town centers, many of which sprung up gradually over extended periods of time. |
