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.
