At the meeting of Meriden’s building committee Thursday night, is was announced that O&G Industries, of Torrington, will build the renovations at Platt High School and Gilbane Building Co., of Glastonbury, will do that job at Maloney High School. So it’s off to the races we all go as this project gathers momentum.
Congratulations to Patricia Hogan, chosen first elected tenant representative to the Wallingford Housing Authority by residents on Thursday. She has had experience with the job and we hope she can make a difference along with other commissioners: change is needed.
