So long, mixed-use building and parking lot; hello, new health center?

A map of the clinic's current headquarters, planned addition (at the top left), and planned new parking lot.
Fair Haven Community Health Care’s upcoming Grand Avenue expansion came into sharper focus — as a health center representative described plans to knock down an existing corner building that currently houses a pharmacy, a pizzeria, and a handful of apartments, and to construct in its stead a new neighborhood clinic and community space.

An under-appreciated Fair Haven riverine jewel is looking shinier than ever thanks to an invigorated “friends” group and an increasingly effective partnership with the city and Yale University’s Urban Resource Initiative.

Rick Altice: As overdoses rise, patients need safe equipment.
A Yale harm reduction-focused healthcare team has its sights set on installing a trio of vending machines around town that would dispense not candy bars and soda, but clean syringes, safe injection kits, and overdose reversal medication.

Cutting the ribbon on the rehabbed Ferry St. bridge.
Construction crews wrap up work before bridge's official reopening.
Cars and trucks looking to cross between Fair Haven and Cedar Hill can use the Ferry Street bridge again, now that the state has wrapped up a $3 million rehab of a span that has been closed to traffic for the last five months.
When Wilson Reyes looked at the bed of roses beyond the porch of 302 Exchange St., he thought back to the Fair Haven he grew up in half a century ago — and he remembered how flowers stood in that very same spot even then.
At a foreclosure auction for that now-empty house, Reyes put in the highest — and only — bid, with the goal of reviving that small slice of the neighborhood he has long called home.
Glendower/Patriquin rendering of proposed Strong School redesign.
Two affordable housing developers are competing to transform the long-vacant former Strong School building into an artists’ community, public gathering space, and housing complex.
Peeling back the onion: A plan for a structural addition to this dome has sparked new questions about what's happening on a trash company's property.
Officials of the “Circle of Life” transfer station on Middletown Avenue showed neighbors plans for a new semi-circlular structure on their site — and heard back questions, claims and complaints about the broader conditions on their property.

Site of proposed new Fair Haven Health building.
Fair Haven Community Health Care plans to build a new medical building focused on treating behavioral health issues and addressing “social determinants of health” at the corner of Grand Avenue and James Street, next door to the community health center’s current headquarters and main clinic.
If suggestions of Fair Haven neighbors come to fruition, the new building will be brightly colored, filled with plants, and adorned with local art reflecting Latino cultures.
Cotto and Blanco looking for a missing man at Justin’s Deli.
City police Officers Martha Cotto and Kevin Blanco were in the middle of their walking beat on Grand Avenue when a call came over the radio: An 85-year-old man with dementia had wandered away from home, and he was now missing somewhere in Fair Haven.

Harm reduction crew at 229 Grand lot: John Burroughs, John Rivera, Mark Jenkins, Alder Sarah Miller, Jaclin Lucibello, Emme Magliato.
A Fair Haven-based harm reduction coalition has its sights set on turning a vacant Grand Avenue lot into a one-stop “engagement center” for sex workers, day laborers, drug users, and other struggling populations.
They have the backing of local businesses and social service organizations. Now they’re looking for help from City Hall.
Jocelin and community health volunteer José Antonio Armas Alvarez.
Jocelin hobbled through the doors of Unidad Latina en Acción’s Howe Street headquarters with a leg she had nearly lost, a mind spiraling with trauma, and a $64,000 medical bill.
Inside, she found a volunteer who had survived his own journey to New Haven as an undocumented immigrant — and who helped her find and afford the medical care she sorely needed.

Shneor Edelkopf flips, clockwise from top left: 106 Bassett, 47 Hillside, 232 West Hazel, 268 Exchange.
Real estate investor Shneor Edelkopf has kicked his rental-property-flipping business into high gear this summer — as his companies have bought and promptly sold four apartment buildings in five weeks, at a combined markup of $364,000.
Homeowners trying to turn their expanses of traditional turf grass into gardens for vegetables or flowers might take some cues from Elizabeth (Liz) Johnston and Lizzette Flores of Perkins Street: Their small yard is full of flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees and vines, and is described by some friends as “Paradise.”

The late Eugene Fargeorge, at home.
Relatives and friends of Eugene B. Fargeorge are gathering to commemorate what would have been his 100th birthday Saturday, and one of their activities will be a clean-up of the Quinnipiac Meadows/Eugene B. Fargeorge Preserve, which was established by the New Haven Land Trust in 1987 and named in his honor.
Fair Haven Community Health Care (FHCHC) has examined its parking-related growing pains, and is now looking for community and government approval for the cure.
A 17-year-old New Havener named John Tubac died on Thursday — four days after he was shot and injured in Fair Haven, and less than a month after he graduated from High School in the Community.
