📰 News we're reading

• Popular Grocery Store Moves Forward With Plans For Clinton Location (patch.com) — Clinton residents could soon see a new Aldi rising on East Main Street, where three existing buildings would be demolished to make way for a 20,650-square-foot store and additional retail space. Plans submitted to the town detail more than 100 parking spaces in the heart of Clinton’s daily-needs retail district, near other major chains and just minutes from I-95.    

• House Approves Small Business Concierge Bill (cbia.com) — Clinton’s state representative Chris Aniskovich backed a new “small business concierge” bill that just passed the Connecticut House with overwhelming bipartisan support. The measure would create a single point of contact at the Department of Economic and Community Development to help small and mid-sized businesses navigate state programs, grants, and regulations more easily as it now heads to the Senate.
