📰 News we're reading

• ConVal school board votes to raise pay for substitutes and staff (ledgertranscript.com) — Milford gets a brief comparison shoutout as ConVal raises substitute pay above most neighboring districts, including Milford’s $130 daily rate. The board approved higher daily and long-term substitute pay to address a serious shortage that’s forcing teachers and principals to cover classes and stretching staff thin across its 11 schools.    

• Wilton residents approve tax relief for new commercial construction (ledgertranscript.com) — Milford is held up as a key competitor as Wilton voters approve a flexible tax break aimed at attracting new commercial and industrial projects, renovations, and additions. The new exemption, modeled on approaches used in towns like Milford, lets Wilton’s Select Board tailor up-to-50% property tax relief for up to 10 years to boost jobs and redevelopment.
