A new study of medical records adds to the evidence linking gout, particularly in patients with poorly controlled serum urate level, to cardiovascular risk.
During a Town Council public information hearing on Tuesday, speakers overwhelmingly supported a proposal for the town of Glastonbury to buy a 10.86-acre office-building property at the end of Nye Road for at least partial redevelopment with an affordable housing complex.
But the discussion of the proposed $3.4 million purchase is far from over.
At the end of Tuesday’s discussion, council Chairman Thomas P. Gullotta said the hearing will continue on Wednesday, Nov. 9.
The town of Glastonbury is considering buying a 10.86-acre property at the end of a cul de sac off House Street for $3.4 million in order to build an affordable housing complex.
The Town Council voted unanimously earlier this month to hold a public information hearing on the proposed purchase at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25.
The property at issue is at the end of Nye Road, a short distance north of Salmon Brook and the multi-use trail the town has built along it. There are two office buildings on the property street Nos. 50 and 55.
Glastonbury's Town Council voted Tuesday to end the town’s 38-year business relationship with Connecticut’s trash authority, which will close its Hartford trash-to-energy plant in July, and contract instead with an Enfield company to dispose of trash and recyclable materials brought to the town’s collection points.
The council voted 8-0, to exercise the town’s option to opt out of its contract with the Materials Innovation and Recycling Authority and contract with Murphy Road Recycling LLC, which is named after a Hartford location but is now based on Mullen Road in Enfield.
