4 BRIDGEPORT POST Saturday, Feb. 21, 1576 Greenwich Eyes Moratorium Office i i Action By JAMES SMITH Associated Press Writer GREENWICH This Connect- Icut (5old Coast town that has lured many a major corporation from the hustle and bustto of New York City life, is considering putting a moratorium on office buildings. "It's a real trade-off. The town's exfienses are going up by about 10 per cent each year," said Edward Nunes, PJanrting and Zoning commission diairm.an. But town officials believe they need six-month, moratorium to study what direction the town's growth will take.

In the meantime Connecticut officials publish brochures showing autumn foliage, lakes and shores, golf courses and covered bridges, and give pep talks lo corporate executives about the tax benefits and "quality of life" In Connecticut especially in ths Gold Coast towns of Greenwich, Stamford, Darlen, Westport and Fairfield. Greenwich's proposal to halt major commercial construction comes before a public hearing Tuesday, but the hearing is considered just a formality by rnany. iroposed replacing by raising he gasoline tax from 10 cents a gallon to 12 cents. Higher taxes aside, the companies keep coming. As offt- of Levitt Sons Inc.

said ibout their March 1 corporate move from Lake Success, N.Y., Greenwich, ind a more structure for they expect to attractive tax the individual, SCIENCE SERIES START MARCH 10 MONROE JEAN LOVELAND LAURIE LOVEIAND smllen Rood The 4-H and the Monroe town library will sponsor a spring series, starling March 1C, for children in Grades 3 through 8, in the children's section of the Monroe library. 'Expenditures are Increasing faster than income. We're providing the necessary services now, but can we keep up?" asked. Among the problems the town has is a Ijwsuit filed by a central Greenwich firm that claims the town does not provide adequate drainage. Greenwich town officials don't believe they're at odds with the state Commerce Department which is trying to bring more companies to Con necticut.

"We're not out to block new business, but to control growth jo we can live with it," Nunes said. If voters approve the mor alorium, it would be' the third temporary construction halt in It would seem unlikely thai such a moratorium could re verse the trend of executives seeking greener pastures milder tax climates. Last year, 54 companies cated in Connecticut brought 18,000 new Jobs to the state, Commerce Commissioner Edward J. Stockton said. Of tiie "Fortune 500," Fortune magazine's annual ranking of the biggest industrial firms in the nation, Connecticut is headquarters for 28 firms.

The state had only eight on the list ol 500 a decade ago. At the fame time New York City has dropped from HO to fewer than lM firms. The fact that Connecticut is one of seven states in the nation without a state income tax is a big drawing card with corporations, Stockton said. And the concentration of Now York City corporation executives in affluent Fairlield County makes it lhat much easier for a cornpany to make the de cision to cross the border. "The force of economics pushing these firms farther Into Connecticut.

The companie simply don't need to be in York," Stockton said. Seven of 10 senior officers General Signal, which lease an Office in Stamford and plan to move executives and aide there this Spring, already live in Connecticut, a cornpany off cial noted. Talcing away th burden of commuting thre hours daily should increase eculives' productivity, said ward W. Franklin, vice pres' dent and general counsel. The lour -top executive Continental Can, which ha bought 16 acres in Rowaylon now live in Connecticut.

Following the corporations Connecticut are services ths might otherwise tie the com panics lo New York City nancjal institutions, accoun tants such as branches of Pric Waterhouse and Touche Rosi advertising agencies, even pe sonal barbers, one executiv noted. Airports where sma private planes can land alread exist In Connecticut and nearb Westchester County. But all is not sunny skies an bigger bfittom lines for corp rations that move to necticut. The Connecticut Business an Industry Association complain thai thfe state relies too heavi on business taxes.
