• New 12,000-Square-Foot Golf Facility OK'd In Southington (patch.com) — Southington residents can look forward to a new 12,000-square-foot retail and virtual golf complex at Cote Range on Jude Lane, replacing the existing batting cages while keeping miniature golf as a secondary use. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved the project after addressing wetlands, drainage, and parcel-merger concerns, with officials highlighting improved stormwater management and year-round recreation potential.    

• Southington Health Programs Benefit From Major Foundation Funds (patch.com) — More than half a million dollars in new grants are heading to organizations that directly support Southington residents’ health, transportation, education, and safety.
