Westport, CT

As Westport applications to raze older houses continue to arrive at town hall, statewide totals in Connecticut are scraping record lows dating back to the early 1990s. This comes as builders factor in higher costs for demolition and new construction against dwindling sales of new houses in the Northeast — though with Connecticut's real estate market still strong by historic standards.

Demolitions in Connecticut are near record lows. Here's why

Bridgeport, CT

BRIDGEPORT — Municipal workers appear to have been in violation of a state beach maintenance rule when they ran over and crushed some horseshoe crabs last weekend at Seaside Park. More specifically, according to Connecticut's regulations, using motorized equipment to groom the sand, as was the case here, is...

New Haven, CT

When I ran for mayor I promised to chart a better path forward for New Haven to ensure every resident is treated equally and given a chance to succeed no matter their neighborhood. In a step towards fulfilling this mission, the Board of Alders unanimously approved New Haven’s fiscal year 2023-2024 budget recently, which builds on the significant progress we have made as a city in recent years.

Ridgefield, CT

Thanks to ongoing conversations with Ridgefield's Planning and Zoning Commission, Board of Selectmen, and the local Council of Governments, as well as other state legislators from Fairfield County, I have given direct feedback to leadership at the Capitol on housing bills, with the goal of arriving at a final bill that could help Ridgefield, and at the very least, won’t harm us. None of the bills before us are in their final form, and none have the same language or specifications they had when heard in the public hearing, but I will continue to advocate for Ridgefield until they are ready to be voted on in either chamber.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate. KK Arnold began packing about two weeks ago. The typical college necessities were packed first. New bed sheets, comforter, school supplies … etc. She packed everything into boxes and shipped them from Wisconsin to Connecticut, that way they’d be waiting for her when she arrives in Storrs.

Wilton, CT

NORWALK — Evan Blankenship started the boys lacrosse season with the unenviable task of replacing Wilton’s All-American goalie Colin Leskold. Nearly two months later, Blankenship is now the toast of the town. Behind a lockdown performance from Blankenship, Wilton captured its first FCIAC championship in 24 years with...

Bethel, CT

My son made his stage debut earlier this month. The days before the two performances of “The Descendants” were fraught with nerves, but as soon as the curtain fell and the rapturous applause died out, he was already itching to tread the boards again. We are fortunate in...

WESTON — Jim Kohler wanted to travel the world. So, like many young men his age, he enlisted in the Army when he graduated from Staples High School in 1963. “The older I get, the prouder I feel having served,” he said. Weston resident Kohler, 78, who served...

These past two weeks, I have been treated to the amazing capabilities of our seniors at Bridge Academy, the charter school where I have taught for nearly 10 years. And while I wasn’t familiar with any of these students, I certainly knew them better after hearing some of their senior project presentations.

When responding to a scene, whether it be the scene of a crime, a person calling for help or a medical call, an officer may have an idea what they are headed to, but they won’t know the full story until they arrive. Our officers need to be prepared for each and every circumstance, including how to help when someone is in crisis.
