STAMFORD Mayor David Martin has pitched a $53.1 million capital budget to leaders of the city’s Board of Representatives and Board of Finance. Just over a month ago, the planning board recommended its own vision for projects in the city, but priorities have since shifted.
“There’s been some evolution with regard to (the capital) budget since the planning board made its presentation,” Martin told the Advocate the day before his presentation to the boards.
The city’s capital budget goes hand-in-hand with its operating budget, which Martin also presented to the boards Tuesday.

STAMFORD Mayor David Martin wants to bring back fireworks.
The proposed budget for fiscal year 2021-22 that Martin presented to finance board members and city representatives this week includes $85,000 for a fireworks show around Independence Day.
In an interview with the Stamford Advocate before that presentation, Martin said fireworks are “one small piece” of his effort to fully restore the city services that were reduced last year amid budget cuts stemming from the economic strain of the pandemic. He said he also hopes that a fireworks display will serve as a celebration coming more than a year after the pandemic began.

STAMFORD More than two years of work came to a head this week when the Board of Representatives formally approved terms for the Stamford Affordable Housing Trust.
The fund provides a home for money the Stamford has long collected to bankroll new affordable housing projects. But, under a new directive, the trust fund provides a more public approach towards assessing the city’s below-market housing needs.
