Wallingford: The budget passes, with the addition of the interest from the CRRA funds to restore the fireworks and the VNA appropriations. Seems well-done. To be noted, that while everyone involved is taking that CRRA cash and banking it against the future, which is the right thing to do, it shouldn’t offend too many to apply the rules to such funds that banks apply to trusts, since interest income is very low. Five percent, for example, won’t deplete the account, but could save many programs’ bacons, either in Wallingford or Meriden or Cheshire.
Wallingford: Planning and Zoning turned down both requests about the Old Car Warehouse on N. Colony Street, after the owner of the business has been operating there for four years? There’s no way to work out the use on the site — which actually once was a car dealership — and it’s taken four years to get there. That’s either an awful lot of rope payed out to let him hand himself, or a highly ineffective enforcement process.
Southington: the town doesn’t seem to be in much of a hurry to push that ball-field along at the site of the former drive-in theater. The folks on the Parks Commission, who have been hoping but are not really in charge of what needs to be done, are just kind of waiting. If there’s support, perhaps it should be demonstrated.
