To the Editor:

Newtown Relay For Life would like to thank Newtown residents, schools, and businesses for showing their support for Paint the Town Purple on May 13.

Purple is the official color of the American Cancer Society Relay for Life and the universal color that represents all cancers. We are so encouraged and touched by the support and creativity of our amazing community in showing their spirit to celebrate, âPaint the Town Purple.â

By decorating our schools, businesses, homes, and wearing purple we as a community show that there is hope for all those battling cancer.

Thank you for making this an awareness campaign, by joining hands to fight against cancer.

Remember somebody out there needs your help.

Visit our website www.relayforlife.org/newtownct and walk for a cure on June 4 at NYA.

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.

I agree, but we need to make sure they are pedestrian activated. The ones on Glover were supposed to be by order of the Police Commission, but the ones installed by Public Works were the cheaper flashing light. A couple of extra dollars are worth the lives it can save.

We have been doing the planning work. The State of Connecticut mandates every municipality to develop an affordable housing plan under C.G.S. §8-30j by June 1, 2022, to specify how they “intend to increase the number of affordable housing developments in the municipality.” In lieu of all eighteen municipalities in the Western Connecticut Region duplicating efforts to research, document and analyze affordable housing, the Council of Governments decided to work collectively by splitting the work into two parts: Regional Toolbox Specific, Policy Driven Municipal Annexes.

Great Idea. We used a similar process when Pat Llodra wanted input on Fairfield Hills. very useful.
