• Glenbrook residents hated the last plan. They say Stamford finally got it right. (ctinsider.com) — Stamford officials have approved a long-term, $1-per-year lease allowing nonprofit Domus to reopen the shuttered Glenbrook Community Center on Crescent Street, after residents opposed a previous housing plan. The move secures a future home for Domus as its current site is redeveloped for new schools and promises renewed community use of the historic building, with ongoing oversight from city representatives.
   

• Stamford Lottery Player Scores $100K Scratch-Off Prize (shorenewsnetwork.com) — A Stamford resident has claimed a $100,000 prize from the Connecticut Lottery's $500,000 CA$HWORD 2nd Edition scratch-off game, according to state records.
