Truly Exceptional

To the Editor:

During National Nurses Week, May 6â12, we recognize the vital role of nurses and pay special tribute to them for their expertise in symptom management for our patients and families touched by life-limiting illness. We are proud that our patientsâ families consistently tell us the care they received was excellent. As a result of our outstanding nursing staff and clinical team our agency continues to be ranked among the best in Connecticut and the entire country.

Regional Hospice nurses are truly exceptional. In addition to personalized nursing care, they offer guidance and encouragement, time and attention to promote comfort and dignity. This week, take a moment to join us in thanking the nurses of Regional Hospice for the special care they provide to more than 500 patients and families in greater Danbury each year.

You assumption that there have been no offers to purchase property to protect it from development of 117 luxury cluster homes is simply wrong. And so is the developer's refusal to even come to the table.

Bits And Pieces

You do realize that the town has been trying, and failing, to develop this property for more than 20 years, becuase of the multitude of environmental harm that development would cause, wasting $250k of taxpayer money in the process, don't you? Thankfully, sometimes, realities and needs come before street names. The sewage treatment plant was a need - thats not 'commerce'. Well, the aquifer under 6 Commerce, and the Class1 trout habitat next to it are needs too. If you still are stuck on the street name getting the last word, you should probably ask the State why they designated 34 acres there as open space, when they granted it to us. And if you're still hung up on it after that, let's just change the name of the access road to #6 & #8 to something more fitting....like Conservation Drive....so you can be more at ease.

Selectmen Request Economic Development Requirement For 6 Commerce Be Droppe

Since when is Economic Development narowly defined as tax revenue? You (and the leadership of the EDC) need to broaden your collective understanding of what drives local economies if you want to be successful in helping to grown the local economy. Here's a hint: Positive Cashflow. The town is no different than any business. Top line tax revenue means nothing if it doesn't exceed the costs that come with. That's why converting the last few remaining open spaces to residential housing is a losing proposition economically. CVHAS brings 10's of thousands of people to Newtown annually, who spend money at our restaurants, watering holes and other local businesses, without a signficant increase in, or dependence on, town services. Non-profits are fantastic for local economies, be they private schools, zoo's, museums, land trusts, theaters, or yes, animal sanctuaries.
