All Be Part Of Lockwood-Mathews Annual Holiday Celebration

NORWALK â âTwas the week before Christmas and all through the house, âTwere holiday cheers enough to chase out every mouse. The choirs were all singing from far and near, and Santa Claus stopped by to spread Holiday Cheerâ¦

Lockwood-Mathews Mansion will present a holiday gift to the community, its Annual Holiday Celebration. The special event will be on Sunday, December 17, noon until 4 pm. Guests will be invited to warm up with a cup of hot chocolate courtesy of Lindt Chocolates, and enjoy a Christmas Choral concert with performances by Serendipity, West Rock Middle School, Brian McMahon High School, First Presbyterian Church of Greenwich, Instrumental Music by Chris Schreiner.

Admission to the afternoon of entertainment and good cheer is free.

In addition to the holiday celebration, approximately 30 decorated twinkling Christmas trees as well as hundreds of yards of garland decorate the museum in full holiday regalia. The museum will keep its magnificent decorations, set against a backdrop of historic architecture, until January 5.

Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum is a not-for-profit educational institution chartered by the State of Connecticut. The mansion, its four outbuildings and estate grounds are owned by the City of Norwalk and maintained as a cultural and recreational resource for all. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971, the mansion is widely regarded as one of the finest surviving Second Empite style country houses ever built in the country. It was designed by the European architect Detlef Lieneau and completed in 1868.

The museum was formed in 1966 to undertake the restoration, open the facility to the public, and sponsor educational program related to the Victorian Era. The mansion regularly hosts programs, tours, lectures and workshops, educational trips, exhibits and special events.

The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum is at 295 West Avenue in Norwalk. For more information, call 203-838-9799 or visit LockwoodMathews.org.

Nobody is suggesting shutting the doors on new neighbors. What neighboring towns are doing, and what we should be doing too, is to tap the brakes on all of the multi-family residential development proposals so that we can spend 6 months updating our regulations such that if you want to build dense residential housing here, XX percent of it needs to be affordable (we will never make any headway on increasing our percentage of affordable housing otherwise, short of 8-30g), and the rest needs to be done in as low an impact manner as possible. Low impact on traffic, health & safety, the environment and on the cost of town services.

Backs Moratorium On Dense Development Applications

Hey, there you go! Richard solved it. Thanks, that seems so easy- we'll just get rid of the 2nd amendment and the Supreme Court. Seriously, the 2nd amendment doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The Supreme Court doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The problem is not the tools, but the criminals & the mental illness. The state of Connecticut seems to be focused on the tools, like Richard, while ignoring the users of those tools.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

Ned, please familarize yourself with 8-30G, and then please share the unique flaws that may be helpful in formulating a denial An 8-30g project can be denied only on very narrow grounds – i.e., if it presents health, safety or other concerns that exceed a town’s need for affordable housing. According to the TOG website, “projects cannot be rejected for incompatibility with a Town’s Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD); density; traffic congestion; height; aesthetics; concerns of neighbors or the community; and failure to comply with local zoning regulations.” 8-30g proposals are rarely denied by planning and zoning officials because the burden of proof on appeal is on the town. Appeals are costly, but a municipality can be successful in a court case if it has sufficiently established that the concerns leading to denial are factual and substantive.

P&Z Should Reject Vessel Proposal

The town should certainly measure its performance against the statewide strategies. Unless I missed it I only know of one small cluster of homes that would meet the affordable housing program. Given the 500 or so new units being added in the last 10 years I think that 4/500 would not meet the metric to allow for a moratorium. I mean, fingers crossed for a Christmas miracle but I suspect we will see a few 8-30's sent our way in a method to avoid the Nimby mob. Thanks, Nimby mob.

Discusses Affordable Housing

gangs. If I use a firearm in self/home defense, is that gun violence?
