East Haven Mayoral Candidate Joe Carfora​ Addresses Residents

Written by Democratic Mayoral Candidate Joe Carfora

To the Residents of the Town of East Haven

This Community was built by the hard-working men and women who settled here many years ago. After living through a Depression, and fighting in World War 2, their homes and neighborhoods were displaced by Redevelopment.

These people came to East Haven, built homes, raised children, worshipped, volunteered in their community, and worked to create a better life for their children.

The elderly have paid their dues. Their contributions to East Haven are to be celebrated. They are to be honored.

How do I propose to improve the Quality of Life for our Seniors? In consultation with the Seniors, I have two (2) proposals:

1. The Senior Center must be rehabbed. These improvements can be done by our own Public Works Department;

2. The Senior Center can be relocated to the new Community Center on Tyler Avenue.
Either option will offer our Seniors a more improved space than what they currently enjoy.
At the end of the day, this choice rests with our Seniors.

Our Seniors have worked long and hard to raise their families, to pay off their mortgages, to grow their businesses. We owe them the Quality of Life that they deserve in recognition of their contributions and a life well-lived.
