The Housatonic Valley Waldorf School Association has planned an open house on Saturday, December 1, from 10 am to noon, at the Housatonic Valley School on 40 Dodgingtown Road (Route 302) in Newtown.

This is an opportunity for the community to discover the alternative a Waldorf education offersÂ children preschool through eighth grade. Parents can meet the teachers and experience the classroom and learning materials unique to Waldorf education. Childcare will be provided for children three to six.

The Waldorf approach to education is rooted in the belief that education should nurture a childâs whole being, balancing intellect, body, and spirit. To register, call 364-1113.

A Development Must Be A Good Fit

The town historically has strong collaboration with developers, but the primary obstacle arises from community opposition exerting undue influence on the zoning department. This "NIMBY" pressure often leads to project rejections that exceed the department's actual jurisdiction or authority. Consequently, developers face a limited set of options: either engage in expensive legal battles or leverage the Connecticut Affordable Housing Land Use Appeals Procedure (CGS § 8-30g) as a recourse.

Discusses Moratorium

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.
