I am excited to announce that West Haven will receive a $10,000 United Illuminating grant to plant trees within the City.

Leaders of the legislature’s bipartisan Women’s Caucus, Co-Chairs State Rep. Dorinda Borer (D-West Haven) and State Rep. Rosa Rebimbas (R-Naugatuck) sent communications to Education Commissioner Cardona requesting information on the school re-opening plan and to offer recommendations. And also, requesting Attorney General Tong, to reconsider state’s appeal to the recent ruling of the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, in A.R. v. Connecticut State Board of Education.

My colleague, Rep. Reyes and I sent a letter to the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection Department requesting an evaluation and report of the process that was followed relating to the recent  2.1 million gallon sewage spill in the New Haven region on July 7.

As we continue to monitor the ever-evolving stream of information related to the pandemic, I am encouraged by Connecticut's declining numbers as well as the overall cooperation from our residents.

We still have some road ahead of us to full recovery, but if we all continue to follow safety guidelines, we will get there.

Happy 4th of July!

Although this year's 4th of July celebrations and fireworks displays will be affected because of the pandemic, I still hope you have a ‘sparkling’ weekend!!!

SAVIN ROCK COMMUNITIES (formerly West Haven Housing Authority) announced today that much needed COVID 19 testing for Savin Rock Communities residents will start this Thursday, July 2nd at Surfside Apartments.

I know many of you have been patiently awaiting the reopening of the DMV. Now with the State’s readiness to slowly open along with proper safety measures in place, the DMV announced the new soft opening by appointment only.
