Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 19th of June.
Good morning, Westport.
🏘️ Community
Wakeman Town Farm will host its annual Family Fun Day on Saturday July 12 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.—the ticket fee covers free summer food and drinks while families enjoy farm crafts, animal visits, and live music.
A diaper drive for Help For Kids will also take place, inviting support for the community initiative.
🏛️ Government
New Connecticut laws will take effect July 1, saving households on electric bills, requiring video surveillance of ballot boxes, and mandating personal finance lessons in public schools.
Other measures adjust police stops so officers will no longer stop vehicles for minor equipment issues—steps that update state policies.
📰 Real Estate
Town officials and residents are weighing zoning options as a new housing project may be developed on 455 Post Road East—where the Connecticut Humane Society is soon moving to Wilton.
A local builder has contracted to purchase the property and the Planning & Zoning Commission will review a pre-application on Monday, June 23 at 6 p.m. on Zoom.
