• Canterbury school wants to convert historic Greek Revival into faculty housing on New Milford's town green (nhregister.com) — A historic 1827 Greek Revival house on New Milford's town green could soon become four apartments for Canterbury School faculty, if the town's Zoning Commission approves. The school promises to preserve the building's Main Street façade while converting former law offices into housing and slightly reworking porches and signage. A public hearing is still to be scheduled, giving residents a chance to weigh in.
• Exclusive: New Milford Mayor Pete Bass responds to controversy over comments (news12.com) — New Milford residents are debating Mayor Pete Bass's call for stricter decorum at town council meetings, after he warned that even eye rolling could be treated as heckling. Some locals and online commenters say that goes too far and raises free-speech concerns, while Bass now stresses he won't eject anyone and hopes the controversy sparks healthier, more respectful public participation.
• Man freed after 20 years in prison as judge dismisses Connecticut sex assault case (ctpost.com) — A long-running New Milford child sex assault case has been dismissed, freeing Roger Brown after 20 years in prison because police delayed serving his arrest warrant beyond the statute of limitations. Courts found New Milford officers had Brown's out-of-state address but waited unreasonably, and earlier defense attorneys failed to challenge that delay. The ruling highlights how procedural safeguards and police timing can determine the fate of serious cases.
