High Water Marks- NRWA Volunteer Profiles



Ralph Bosch

Ralph Bosch is a Principle in Overbrook Associates. He is also President of Georgetown Village Restoration, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to the improvement and revitalization of that small village area situated at the crossroads of Redding, Ridgefield, Weston and Wilton. The village of Georgtown evolved in the 1820's because of the Norwalk River and the needs of the Gilbert & Bennett Wire Mill for water power.

As a local businessman, Bosch is eager to bring more commerce to the village and to knit the division DOT caused when it constructed new Routes 107 and 57. At the same time, all villagers want to retain the charming character of this place that recalls history and a small-town atmosphere.

To demonstrate his dedication to Georgetown, Bosch has worked with the Town of Redding and with local merchants and residents to voice what Georgetown needs. He has also taken a leadership position by offering to donate- with Jeffrey Andrews, his partner from Overbrook Associates- the bulk of the land that will become the Georgetown Park at the junction of routes 107 and 57. It was that leadership- along with projected land gifts/easements from Flori Asario and Richard Paris- that allowed NRWA to apply for and win a Five Star Grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.

In addition, Bosch promoted and actively participated in the NRWA 2002 clean up of the Gilbert & Bennett Brook and Norwalk River. For his promotional, organizational, and leadership efforts, NRWA salutes Ralph and looks forward to working with him on both the 2003 annual river clean up and the Georgetown Park project.
