NORWALK - Primestor Development Inc. has determined that the Norwalk Entertainment District will be renamed “The Walk” after conducting community outreach in the community.

During a presentation in the city council chambers last week, director of community outreach for Primestor, Claudia Cardenas, explained how the organization determined the name.

“Many options [were] presented to the community,” Cardenas said. “The Walk, The Park, Park Place, North Park, Keystone Park, Bridgewater, and each one of the options was presented with the concepts of what inspired the name.”

The community narrowed the options down through voting and decided on “The Walk.”

Cardenas said the next step is constructing a district logo by taking inspiration from Norwalk’s history and landmarks.

“The input that we received from the community for an icon was based on peacocks which are associated with the city,” Cardenas said. “As well as the history of the dairy industry that was a big part of Norwalk up until the 1950s.”

No official logo is finalized as Primestor continues to receive community input.
