Brady v. Town of Colchester
Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Decided December 1, 1988No. 702, Docket 87-7908PublishedCited by 403 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
PIERCE, Circuit Judge:
This case involves a zoning dispute which arose out of plaintiffs-appellants’ attempts to renovate and lease commercial property located in Colchester, Connecticut. While this Court has long recognized that purely local zoning disputes are generally matters which are best left to municipal and state agencies to resolve, from time to time we are presented with cases that warrant, and indeed require, the attention of the federal judiciary. We believe that the present matter properly falls into this latter category.
