The Newtown Economic Development Commission (EDC) has scheduled a workshop session on housing trends in Connecticut and in Newtown for 7 to 9 pm on Tuesday, January 26. The presentation will take place in the lower meeting room of C.H. Booth Library, 25 Main Street.

“What’s Ahead: A Look at Housing Trends in Connecticut and Newtown” will feature State Senator Tony Hwang, and representatives from the Partnership for Strong Communities and the Connecticut Economic Resource Center.

A question-and-answer session will follow a presentation on housing projections and population trends.

Newtown has a high household median income and high housing costs, but few options for workers like teachers, nurses, electricians, firefighters, and municipal employees, according to the EDC.

For details on the event, contact Betsy Paynter, the town’s economic development coordinator at 203-270-4281 or betsy.paynter@newtown-ct.gov.
