Don't squander chance for national museum

June 30, 2016 12:00 am • Last Updated: June 30, 2016 4:40 pm

I commend the Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments and New London Mayor Michael Passero for throwing their support behind the selected downtown location for the National Coast Guard Museum. New London is known for always messing up opportunities. To all of you who keep yapping about moving the museum to Fort Trumbull, that ship has sailed. Give it up and get on board with the selected site, then watch New London become the destination that most of us have been waiting for.
