NORWALK, Conn. Some Norwalk political notes for you:
Rilling on possible moratorium
Rilling’s early fundraising was highest to date
Stop the development while we consider regulations?
On Monday, after would-be operators of a Norden Place distribution center withdrew their application for the project, Farhan Memom of the Sasqua Hills Neighborhood Association suggested a moratorium on development within the R&D and Light Industrial Manufacturing Zone.
Others have suggested such a moratorium; it’s an oversight that one wasn’t enacted as the City worked on a study of Norwalk’s industrial zones, they say.
What does Mayor Harry Rilling think?

The Zoning Commission has cancelled its public hearing, scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, on the topic of the distribution center.
“Residents certainly made their voices heard regarding this project. It was no secret how many in the community felt. It was very clear this project was not good for the community and I think it’s a positive outcome,” Mayor Harry Rilling said in a statement.
