Gov. Ned Lamont said Thursday he plans to extend Connecticut’s eviction moratorium for at least another month to allow more time to get rental relief to people who need it, a day after a federal judge invalidated the national ban on evictions.
The decision to extend Connecticut’s moratorium, which Lamont issued separately from the national one as part of his emergency powers tied to the pandemic, will be up to the governor and General Assembly. The governor said he planned to consult with legislative leaders Thursday about how to make it happen.

Closely followed Woodbridge zoning case enters new phase
After six months of public hearings on a widely followed Woodbridge rezoning proposal, commissioners are to start deliberating.
Is multi-family housing in the suburbs a civil rights issue? Or a matter of water and sewer access?
Or is the idea of an environment-housing “balance” an excuse for avoiding necessary systemic change?
Woodbridge Town Planning & Zoning Commissioners will confront those questions next month as a lengthy dispute over the leafy New Haven suburb’s zoning laws moves into a new phase.
On Monday night, the commissioners held their final public hearing on a two-pronged rezoning proposal submitted by civil-rights attorneys and Yale Law School students looking to make it easier for developers to build multi-family affordable housing in Woodbridge.
