• 14 Westport restaurants, 1 deli cited for serious violations during August health inspections (newsbreak.com) — Health inspectors cited 14 Westport restaurants and one deli for 39 serious violations in August, ranging from unsafe food temperatures to weak sanitizer and improper storage of raw meats. While many issues were corrected on the spot or shortly afterward, the report details specific problems at well-known local spots, giving residents clear insight into recent food-safety performance across town.
   

• 18-unit affordable housing development proposed on Compo Road North (westportjournal.com) — A new 18‑unit, all‑affordable housing development is being proposed for 96 Compo Road North, potentially bringing more families into Westport's schools and neighborhoods. Backed by the group behind 122 Wilton Road, the project would use Connecticut's 8‑30g statute, with single‑story duplexes designed to fit the surrounding residential area if approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
