Former Jacoby’s Restaurant building has been sold, clearing the bankruptcy issues. This will be a positive for Meriden, since whatever someone wants to do with the property may now move forward.
Wallingford schools remain closed today, an issue about removing fallen limbs etc. from roadways and enabling buses (more than cars) access to schools and routes. If it’s a matter of safety, so be it.
A next and proper step has been taken in Wallingford’s roof project with the Town Council sign off on money for planning and design of these jobs. But nothing can happen for another three weeks, when the money can actually be released.
Wallingford’s office of Burns & McDonnell, an engineering, architecture and construction firm, participated with a 14 person team in the Pan-Mass Challenge bike-a-thon to help cancer research. It’s a serious commitment they made and the annual effort includes thousands of riders and raises millions of dollars.
It appears that if there is a referendum on the parking plan behind Simpson Court in Wallingford, and if that plan is rejected, there may be parking consequences. We hope such an event does not come to pass.
Meriden’s We the People Party didn’t land a mayoral candidate this week, and did not cross endorse the Republican place-holder Bill Godburn, who says he is unsure whether he will actively campaign or not against incumbent and Democratic nominee Mike Rohde. That could make for an election in November with somewhat less excitement.
It is good to learn that the race in memory of Johanna Manfreda Fishbein, who died in 1997, will take place this year on September 17, even though the town had to drop sponsorship. The Wallingford Family YMCA has stepped in with sponsors for the Fishbein Road Race and Community Day.
