📰 News we're reading

• Griffin Health, Agency on Aging to host stroke education programs (blogspot.com) — Derby seniors can get free stroke education and blood pressure screenings at Derby Neck Library on September 24, part of Griffin Health’s AgeWell program. Similar sessions will also run at senior centers in Ansonia, Oxford, Seymour, and Shelton, all requiring advance registration by calling the host site.
   

• What's Next For Tri-Town Plaza In Seymour? (newhavenindependent.org) — Redevelopment prospects for Seymour’s struggling Tri-Town Plaza are improving now that a single owner controls the property, and local officials see mixed-use housing and retail as a strong possibility. For Derby residents, the story repeatedly contrasts Tri-Town’s stagnation with the successful transformation of Red Raider Plaza on Pershing Drive, highlighting how regional retail and housing decisions could shift shopping and investment patterns across the Valley.
