Good morning, Westport. Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 12th of April.
EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ On Thursday night, more than 2 dozen residents attended a town hall meeting as the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Long Lots School Building Committee discussed plans for a new 127,000-square foot, $100 million school to be built near the current upper baseball diamond. The design features New England style peaked roofs, a stream by the entrance, and a courtyard for outdoor classes but lacks a garden site—this may delay approval. 06880
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Westport officials will hold a public forum at Town Hall auditorium (110 Myrtle Ave.) on April 24 at 6:30 p.m. to gather feedback on a new parks master plan that will not include Longshore Club Park (because a separate plan is underway) and will lead to more meetings this summer and fall.
