Stratford Community Center Needs New Home After Ouster: Report

STRATFORD, CT — The Alliance for Community Empowerment is looking for a new home after receiving notice from the town that the nonprofit organization will need to move out of its space on Bates Street in Stratford, according to the Connecticut Post.
