TRUMBULL Larry LaConte may have been a quiet man, but that’s mostly because he let his actions do all the talking.
“He beat me in 2015 when we ran for Planning and Zoning Commission,” said current commission member Tony Silber. “But even so, he was always warm and gracious. When he walked into a room, you always got a sense of his presence.”

TRUMBULL The Planning & Zoning Commission has cleared the way for a 260-unit apartment complex on lower Main Street, approving plans for the site by a 3-2 vote.
The three commissioners voting in favor, Chairman Fred Garrity, Tony Silber and Tony D’Aquila, agreed with town staff that the proposal met the requirements established in 2018 and helped secure the future of the town’s largest taxpayer. Commissioners Larry LaConte and Anthony Chory voted against the project during Thursday’s meeting.
