📰 News we're reading

• A vacant Connecticut church could soon give way to four new homes (ctpost.com) — A long-vacant church property on Mansfield Avenue in Darien is close to being approved for demolition and subdivision into four single-family home lots, with more than half the land preserved under a conservation easement. Local commissions have largely signed off, sewer connections are planned, and one tenant family would need to relocate if the project proceeds, reflecting broader redevelopment trends around Heights Road and Boston Post Road.
