The Greenwich-small-town-killing affordable housing bill is back
It's back. The Affordable Housing bill that Governor Lamont (D) rightfully vetoed a few months ago has been re-issued and is about to be voted on in a special session in Hartford. The politicians say it's a scaled back version of the hated HB5002, a compromise bill, and a bipartisan effort. Don't believe any of that. It incentivizes dense, as-of-right multifamily and middle housing in commercial zones and near transit (think Greenwich, Cos Cob, Riverside, Old Greenwich tra

A not so public meeting about a wide path that jumped off the rails onto the narrow streets of Old Greenwich
It began with CT Governor Lamont's good idea of providing multi-use recreational trails along Connecticut's rail paths and canal routes. The State committed $9 million for 50 trail programs including a grant to design a Greenwich-Stamford Multi-Use Trail. Instead of running along rail paths, the 10-foot wide multi-use trail under study here has gone off the rails. It runs through narrow streets in Old Greenwich in hopes of connecting Old Greenwich's Binney Park to Stamford

Stamford transforms from Finance Hub to Sports & Media Powerhouse
A massive migration of top-tier entertainment and sports companies is transforming Stamford, CT. Once defined by finance and insurance, the city is repositioning itself as a sports and media hub. Why Stamford? Many of these companies are leaving the high costs of New York City. They benefit from Connecticut's generous digital media and film production credits that cost around $60+ million annually in lost revenue to the State. They also receive lucrative property tax abat
