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.

I particularly enjoy reporting on voting rights and how political trends play out at the local level. I ve worked as a town reporter for The Day, covering Montville and Waterford from 2019-2021 as well as writing breaking news and general assignment stories.
