To the Editor:

Â Thank you to everyone in Newtown who expressed their faith in me before the election, and then supported me at the polls. I am honored and blessed by your support. I also am humbled because Newtown had a choice of seven high-quality Board of Education candidates for the four-year slot, all of whom were committed to serving our school district and its children well.

Now the real work begins. As the new Board of Education takes shape, I want to make sure all of you will continue to contact me at bittmanboe@aol.com with your concerns and issues regarding the Newtown school district. I look forward to meeting with you at PTA meetings, school events, and other community activities. That was the best part of this election process â talking and meeting with the people of Newtown. I very much want to continue this.

Â Thank you again for your support. Iâm looking forward to serving our community, and working with Newtownâs other newly elected BOE members, Kathy Fetchick, David Nanavaty, and Anna Wiedemann

Sincerely,

Lillian D. Bittman

Newtown Board of Education Member

You are correct, Bruce. I know how hard these plans are to put together, but I still believe that we can have more definitive and measurable goals. I know there are a number of units coming online, and the community truly needs them. If only we can move the development of affordable housing to more of a partnership between the community and the developers than the adversarial tug-of-war it seems to be now, that would be good progress.

Here is the plan Newtown signed on to. https://westcog.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Final-Newtown-Affordable-Housing-Annex_2022.pdf

I agree, but we need to make sure they are pedestrian activated. The ones on Glover were supposed to be by order of the Police Commission, but the ones installed by Public Works were the cheaper flashing light. A couple of extra dollars are worth the lives it can save.

We have been doing the planning work. The State of Connecticut mandates every municipality to develop an affordable housing plan under C.G.S. §8-30j by June 1, 2022, to specify how they “intend to increase the number of affordable housing developments in the municipality.” In lieu of all eighteen municipalities in the Western Connecticut Region duplicating efforts to research, document and analyze affordable housing, the Council of Governments decided to work collectively by splitting the work into two parts: Regional Toolbox Specific, Policy Driven Municipal Annexes.

Great Idea. We used a similar process when Pat Llodra wanted input on Fairfield Hills. very useful.
