Today's riddle: What has a neck but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Meeting Set On Planned Changes To Route 15 In Hamden (patch.com) — Hamden residents are invited to a September public meeting at the Hamden Government Center to learn about major safety and mobility upgrades planned for Route 15 Exit 51 and Whitney Avenue. State transportation officials will explain proposed ramp changes, new sidewalks, and pedestrian crossings, outline right-of-way impacts, and take questions on the $28 million project expected to start construction in 2028.
• Technical high schools across Connecticut welcome students back (wfsb.com) — Students at Eli Whitney Technical High School in Hamden are among those returning as Connecticut's technical high schools reopen, with new policies on phones and the use of approved AI tools in class. While Friday's focus is on E.C. Goodwin Tech, Hamden families can expect similar schedules, orientations, and work-based learning opportunities as the school year ramps up next week.
• More than 100 years later, a Connecticut manufacturer shuts its doors amid tariff pressure (wheninyourstate.com) — A century-old Hamden manufacturer, Leed-Himmel Industries, is shutting down, cutting local jobs and erasing about $160,000 in annual property tax revenue for the town. Rising costs for electricity, insurance, and aluminum tariffs pushed the company over the edge, and the owner is still hoping a buyer will keep the Hamden facility in manufacturing rather than turning it into storage or something else.
