Waterford The town has a lengthy list of Republicans and Democrats running in the November election, with a few young faces on the ballot.
The Democrat Town Committee endorsed 30 candidates Sunday night, and the Republican caucus adjourned a meeting Tuesday night to announce 27 candidates altogether running for Board of Finance, Board of Education, Board of Assessment Appeals, Zoning Board of Appeals and Representative Town Meetings. Couldn t be happier with the candidates we are putting forward this fall, said Cathy Barnard, the town s Democratic committee chairwoman. A nice mixture of incumbents, folks who have served in office before, and folks who have never run before including myself.
That is First Selectman Rob Brule s central question.
The Board of Selectmen approved a motion Tuesday to hire Attorney Jay Levin of Suisman Shapiro Law Group for $24,000 in the next six months to represent the town in Hartford, advocating for more access to state-owned Waterford Parkway South and Waterford Parkway North.
As it stands, the roads face a bottlenecking of traffic where they meet at Cross Road, Brule says. Gaining more oversight of the parkways would allow the town to evaluate traffic infrastructure at Cross Road, supporting buildout of all available properties and the Millstone Power Station nuclear plant evacuation route.
Waterford A survey issued in early March by the Planning and Zoning Commission finds that a majority of residents consider housing affordability an issue and say development should be encouraged, yet most disapprove of the construction of three- to four-story apartments or condominiums.
Planning Director Abby Piersall says the purpose of the online survey, which was distributed on the town s social media platforms and open to the public from March to April, was to gather early opinions on affordable housing before drafting a plan the commission hopes to present for further public discussion in the fall.
The commission, Piersall said, recognizes the need to increase housing that people can afford. The goal is enhancing existing neighborhoods and figuring out gaps in the town s housing options.
