WASHINGTON Amtrak announced it would enhance rail service in Connecticut and add new lines across the country after President Joe Biden revealed his infrastructure bill would award the corporation $80 billion over eight years for improvements.
Biden’s American Jobs plan, which he unveiled in Pittsburgh Wednesday, calls for massive spending on transportation, clean energy, school construction, the senior care-giving industry and research and development, paid for by corporate tax increases. The plan is Biden’s strategy for helping the economy recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

GREENWICH A proposal to convert a cafe on Arch Street into a restaurant that serves alcoholic beverages is running into questions over how much parking is available there.
The Perfect Provenance at 47 Arch St. sells clothing and accessories and also operates Cafe 47, which does not provide beer, wine or mixed drinks. A proposal before the Planning and Zoning Commission would create a restaurant on the first floor of the building with 22 seats, up from 12 seats. The addition of more seats would allow the operation to become a restaurant under state law, allowing for a liquor license, a profitable revenue stream for food-service operations.
