Members of Hawleyâs Kids Care Club met after school on Tuesday, December 6, to package holiday gift items raised in a schoolwide effort to send to children in Ghana, Africa, through the Haven Children Orphanage, based out of West Haven.

Through the Kids Care Clubâs Shoebox Project, students collected items ranging from coloring books to sunglasses for distribution to boys and girls ages 4 to 6.

On Tuesday, the club members gathered to decorate 30 shoe boxes, organize the collected items, and ready each package for deliver to New Haven. The boxes will be shipped to Ghana through FedEx, according to Hawley parent Lisa Burbank.

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.
