Meriden’s Housing Authority has offered to lend assistance to Wallingford’s, as the latter goes through transitions. This seems a potentially desirable suggestion, particularly if it can save both agencies money or improve conditions for tenants, so we hope it works out.
The redistricting committee missed its deadline on Congressional districts for Connecticut, so the matter goes to the court. This is too bad, since it’s better to have an agreed-upon plan than one imposed upon both sides, but that’s how the cookie crumbles.
The possible MountainRidge purchase by New Life Church is apparently a substitute for rebuilding at its Bee Street church in Meriden, which is interesting. This change would have some property tax consequences for Meriden, but it’s too soon to worry about that.
Moran Middle School kids have been participating in a drive to raise funds for operations to repair cleft palates of youngsters in poor countries. This is reasonably standard work in the US but beyond means in some countries and the charity offers Moran kids in Wallingford a chance to think of others.
Donations to Toys for Tots are down in Meriden this year, which means there will be some disappointed youngsters. We hope some last-minute presents will help prevent such an eventuality before Friday’s distribution.
