Yale & New Haven

According to Yale ELIne Mail vol. 5, no. 1 - Sept. 2004, a "$230 million development project will replace the New Haven Veterans Coliseum with new facilities for both the Long Wharf Theater and a potential new hotel. Long Wharf Theater, which once expressed reluctance about moving downtown, is now excited and committed to taking advantage of New Haven's renaissance by locating in the heart of the city amid other cultural institutions as well as unique shops and excellent restaurants. The investment in this project by both the city and state is due in large part to the University's and city's commitment to the revitalization of downtown. As Jane Gordon wrote in the New York Times in June, 'New Haven's reputation has changed in the past few years. The city's nightlife has a brighter cast.'"
