In honor of its 50th anniversary, Children’s Adventure Center is set to hold an evening event at Barnwood Grill, 5 Queen Street, on Thursday, November 7, from 6 to 9 pm.
Paul Brautigam and his staff at Brautigam Land Surveyors PC have been delivering for clients across Newtown and the region, amassing a total of 3,500-plus projects completed in 30 years.
Organizers have announced that Newtown-Sandy Hook Restaurant Week, being held October 7-13, supports the diverse offering of more than 50 eateries in Newtown and Sandy Hook.
Faced with mounting pressure from the governor on down through the statehouse and into Connecticut consumers’ homes, the state Department of Revenue Services (DRS) admitted it had erred in interpreting new legislation that levied an added tax on what was originally a huge menu of prepared foods.
After Philip Maniatty established the successful Northstar restaurant in Pound Ridge, New York — employing the culinary creativity of Chef Franz Fruhmann — the pair are poised to launch Cloud 9 in the former location of Dere Street Steak, adjacent to the flagpole at 33 Main Street.

Cluster homes are already an approved concept for the Borough, because it preserves open land and builds homes with sewer and public water. I'm Suggesting the Zoning Board should approve this because its a proposal that meets conservation goals and "checks" all the boxes.
How do you propose tapping the brakes, Dave? 8-30g already trumps any local regulations- you don't have a brake pedal to push. Brookfield, Trumbull and now Ridgefield have a clear case for a moratorium based on the development (thanks to 8-30g) that has already occurred. I don't see a clear case for Newtown to request a moratorium... yet.
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.
