GALLERY ON THE GREEN SHOW TO OPEN JAN. 4 IN CANTON, CONN.

Avv/gs set 12/19 #723203

CANTON, CONN. â The Gallery on the Green will open its first show of the year, a member/guest show where a member may bring one guest, open to all media. The upstairs gallery features David Holzman in a show called âBio-Mat-Fuel-4-No-Think.â Both shows will be on view January 4âFebruary 3. An opening reception will be January 5, 6 to 9 pm.

Holzmanâs show will contain woodcarvings and paintings. The body of work continues a stream of thought derived from automatic drawing. The latest step results in a personal kind of biomorphic abstraction expressed in carved wood reliefs and paintings.

The spotlight gallery will feature Paul Baylock, who pays a artistic homage to the colorful old windows he has grown to love in his studio.

Gallery on the Green is on Dowd Avenue and Route 44. For more information, 860-693-4102.

‘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.
