PINNACLE HEIGHTS DEBACLE BY THE DEMOCRATS OF THE COUNCIL PROPERTY SUB-COMMITTEE
The debate intitiated by the Democrats at tonight's meeting nearly torpedoed the sales contract of this long time discussed “TURNOVER” of the property to a qualified developer and his partner.
If it wasn’t for the persistence of Alderman Louis Salvio, the Democrats would have succeeded with their desire to make the Mayor’s proposal appear to be the wrong direction for the city. Alderman Paul Catanzaro expressed his desire to table this matter. The Majority Leader, Michael Trueworthy, at first expressed that he would vote "no" but later recanted his first statement by adding an amendment to the motion that was acceptable to the developer.
As I already stated: Alderman Salvio did a fantastic job in salvaging the proposal from being torpedoed by the Democrats in their never ending zeal to sandbag any of the mayor's initiatives for their own political expediency

Two More Facilities for New Britain’s Friendship Center Underway.
The new facilities will deliver 21 new apartments to help the homeless. One new building is currently under construction at 85 Arch Street and the second location is a renovated building at 57 Arch Street--commonly known as the “ Vega Building” which housed the old Vintage Shop.
This facility will serve people and families who are in trouble, while providing them with a place to live during their healing process, and is intended to help them move on with their lives.
Let us all hope the completion dates, for both operations, will have them in service for the upcoming cold weather.
