Montville Former Housing Authority Commission member Sierra Davis resigned on Dec. 30, 2020, saying commissioners had become too involved in the day-to-day operations of the authority, among other motivations for her departure.
Some town officials were alarmed by Davis’s resignation and by her follow-up message on Jan. 3, 2021, which is more specific about why she resigned. Montville’s housing authority complex locations are Independence Village Elderly Housing on Milefski Drive in Uncasville and Freedom Village Elderly Housing on Liberty Road in Oakdale.
Davis s initial resignation letter says the lack of an executive director had been hurting the housing authority, which had been without one since 2019. She said it concerns her “that we have no one on-site to support residents and the position has not been filled since July 2019 even with the mayor and senior services requesting” it. She adds that “residents have complained and continue to complain.”
