Two plans that promise to bring a total of 256 new apartments to Westville and Long Wharf moved ahead — as alders pressed for more affordable units and questioned whether the city’s recently adopted “inclusionary” housing law goes far enough.

A local developer’s plans to convert a 112-room extended-stay hotel on Long Wharf into 112 new apartments moved ahead thanks to a favorable recommendation from the City Plan Commission.
A one-year building moratorium on Long Wharf is now in effect — but will almost certainly not stand in the way of a new truck trailer parking facility proposed for the current Sports Haven off-track-betting site.
Expect less flooding on the often-flooded Union Avenue in the years ahead, thanks to a $25 million federal grant that will help the city construct a roughly 3,000-foot drainage pipe and tunnel from West Water Street to the Harbor.

A woman holding bolts of fabric approached the checkout counter set up in the lobby of Long Wharf Theatre. She had plans, she said, to make clothes for her relatives.
“In my generation, everybody knitted or sewed,” she said.
Now, she continued, “when a shirt loses a button, they take it to the dry cleaners.”
Making clothes yourself is a “lost art,” a Long Wharf employee agreed. But with the help of Dock Deals — a series of sales of stock Long Wharf is holding as it clears out its space on Sargent Drive — the woman would find it again.
A proposed one-year building moratorium on Long Wharf is now one vote away from adoption — after alders and city planners made clear that certain projects, like Fusco’s planned new 500 waterfront apartments, would not be affected by the land-use pause.

The local owner of a 112-room extended-stay hotel on Long Wharf is looking for zoning permission to convert the property into 112 new apartments — by changing the legally permitted use of the hotel’s existing buildings and rooms, rather than by constructing anything new.

City Plan Commissioners unanimously advanced a proposed one-year building moratorium on Long Wharf, as one developer accelerated a truck maintenance facility application before the deadline.
The Elicker Administration is now looking to pay outside attorneys $159,000 in total in a bid to hold a city-hired contractor accountable for cracking concrete outside of the Canal Dock Boathouse.
Who needs a home in New Haven? Who can afford a home in New Haven? And whom should the state prioritize supporting with its housing policies and subsidies — biotech transplants or working-class first-time buyers?
Two different takes on those housing-focused questions came to the fore during a conversation among the governor, a top state housing official, and a now-former Beaver Hills alder.

On Monday night, the Big Tent Party, a gala fundraiser for Long Wharf Theatre, saw the regional theater institution begin its slow turn away from its Sargent Drive home and into a more nomadic future, as patrons gathered for an evening of food, drink, and entertainment that began and ended outside.
If Giovanni Zinn’s vision comes to fruition, cyclists will no longer need to take their lives into their hands while riding along Water Street beside highway-bound cars.
That possible future won a vote of support from an aldermanic committee that greenlit the legal sale of marijuana on Long Wharf — including on an industrial stretch of Sargent Drive where a Massachusetts-based cannabis dispensary hopes to move in to the longtime, soon-to-be-former home of Long Wharf Theatre.
The City Plan Department has proposed putting a one-year pause on new developments on Long Wharf — in a bid to attract more shops and apartments, and fewer gas stations and truck repair facilities, to the city’s industrial waterfront.

Researchers Sanam Shah and Ariel Spiegel are presenting the findings of a project that may, once and for, stick it to the man. Their advisor is watching with eagerness as Spiegel turns on the fire, cutting straight to the chase about how they’ve uncovered evidence, real evidence, of corporate wrongdoing, creating active ecological harm. She’s flush with her commitment. That’s when Shah gets worried. Isn’t her presentation maybe a little too subjective? Her advisor disagrees; if anything, he suggests, Spiegel should lay it on thicker. After all, the passion is backed up by hard data. Isn’t it?
That’s when Shah suddenly looks worried. She’s found an anomaly. But she can fix it. She knows she can. In that moment, it’s hard to tell whether she’s reassuring them or herself.

The three women in the room — two sisters and a TV host — are wearing safety glasses. It’s time to start demolishing the house the sisters grew up in. The TV host, all smiles, hands one of the sisters a sledgehammer, so she can do the honors of striking the first blow. Time stops, and there’s a fight. Time starts again, and the sister swings the hammer and puts a huge gash in the wall. That’s when something starts oozing out, like thick blood from a wound. Is that supposed to happen? No one knows.

Lamberti’s Italian Sausages President Jay Pallotti saw his grandfather’s 1946 Long Wharf business threatened after more than 70 years of business when two of the company’s refrigerated trucks broke down — and no replacement vehicles were available for purchase.
