Today is the day! In accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's new guidance, the Governor announced that Connecticut residents who are fully vaccinated will no longer be required to wear a mask indoors beginning today.

I wanted to take a moment to update you on some of the bills passed this week, provide some information and resources in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, thank our teachers, and invite elementary school students and their parents to join us for a wonderful online opportunity.

Yesterday, we convened at the State Capitol to vote on a number of important bills. Most pertain to resources and aid for those who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic.

Just a quick reminder about a few events happening in our community this weekend.

I’m reaching out today with information about state, local and public/private partnerships to help support our business community and share links to recent zoning conversations.

A number of the proposals that were passed out of the committee have been the subject of much conversation and some misconception.

The warmer weather has been a great delight over the past few days, and came just on time as spring officially kicked off last week. With spring though, we begin to see more people suffering from allergy flare-ups.

Spring is upon us and more and more vaccines are becoming available. For those of you 45 and older, I hope you’ve been able to get your vaccine appointment.
