The Gateway Commission, through their staff, welcomes discussions and/or preliminary reviews of projects within the Gateway Conservation Zone so that property owners and design professionals can better understand how to develop sites in harmony with the standards and mission of the Gateway Commission. In this way, the Gateway Commission can partner with the community in their efforts to preserve the "natural and traditional riverway scene" for current and future Connecticut citizens.

The Gateway Commission can be reached by contacting J. H. Torrance Downes via email at jhtdownes@gmail.com. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm when they can be reached by phone at (860) 581-8554. Offices for the Gateway Commission are located at the offices of the Lower Connecticut River Valley Council of Governments, 145 Dennison Road, Essex, CT.
