Ridgefield Voters Prepare for Key Legislative Forum

As Ridgefield prepares for a Legislative Forum, editor Kirk Carr emphasizes the potential impact of proposed bills on local zoning autonomy and infrastructure. Key questions for voters include the implications of HB 6944 on Ridgefield's zoning decisions and affordability in housing developments, as well as concerns about infrastructure demands from increased density. Carr urges residents to engage in discussions about the town's recourse if state housing plans are rejected, and whether local planning goals could be overridden. The forum aims to inform voters of how these legislative changes could affect their community. Residents are encouraged to attend and voice their concerns to ensure that local interests are represented in state legislation.
