At last! Made it through the approvals process for 13 new units of dedicated affordable housing in Kent.
After our approval, a proposal for an additional 80 units of market rate and affordable housing got a warm reception.
Moving things forward in our quaint little town of about 3000!
Approval from Inland Wetlands received, now onto Planning and Zoning for 13 units of much needed affordable housing in Kent.
I think anyone who has used a self checkout kiosk with a bunch of items can sympathize.

Kent's great little elementary school has a 7-1 student to teacher ratio. It's wonderful, but unsustainable. As mentioned in the article, there are a lot of families in Gaylordsville (Northern New Milford), who would love to send their kids to KCS.

The affordable housing in Kent, looking good on this fine spring day!

If you were hoping that, after a leisurely, long weekend of golf, Trump would come to his senses, alas...
Very well attended protests in Warren, New Milford, and Torrington, despite the rain! On the way to Torrington, we drove by the one in Cornwall Bridge, which also had a very impressive turnout!
