A free educational discussion for the community highlighting âThe Aging Process of Seniorsâ will be held Thursday, December 1, at Masonicare at Newtown/Lockwood Lodge from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. A light dinner will be served, with the program beginning at 6.

The discussion will be conducted by members of the Western Connecticut Seniors Alliance, a nationally recognized group of highly skilled professionals, such as attorneys, insurance and real estate specialists and more, who provide expertise to seniors and their families. The program invites all seniors, adult children, caregivers and family members to attend. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions of the experts.

There is no fee to attend, but seating is limited. Those wishing to attend are asked to call the Masonicare HelpLine at 888-679-9997 to reserve a space.

Masonicare at Newtown, an affiliate of Masonicare, is at 139 Toddy Hill Road.

‘Timeless Newtown’ Series To Launch With Community Discussion Lunch & Learn

Holly Kocet is pushing a false narrative. The facts simply don't bear out any negative impact to the traffic on Mt Pleasant Road. Saying it does , does not make it true. The road handles in excess of 40,000 trip a day. a couple hundred form Castle Hill is negatable.

A Development Must Be A Good Fit

Yea. great decision and it will add to the quality of comments posted.

Finally, The Time Has Come(And Some Reminders)

Not approving a development that has "checked" all the boxes because the NIMBY mob doesn't like it is wrong.

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.
