Hundreds of new apartments. Tens of thousands of square feet of office and lab space. Ground-floor retail up and down Winchester Avenue.
Science Park’s redevelopers unveiled those plans to Dixwell and Newhallville neighbors as they prepare to embark on the next stage of turning the former Winchester Arms factory complex into a research, residential, and shopping hub.

Brazi’s head chef Jesse Melgar in the kitchen.
Over the last 28 years, Brazi’s Italian Restaurant, just down the walkway from Long Wharf Theatre, has played the role of host to such luminaries as Arthur Miller, Robert Redford, and Al Pacino, as well as Brian Dennehy and Amy Irving.
So it’s perhaps no wonder that, on a recent morning, head chef Jesse Melgar was at the industrial stove, adding a touch of Chardonnay to a skillet popping with chicken cutlets, red bliss potatoes, and cherry peppers, before theatrically tossing its contents as a flame gushed upward.
Construction should begin in June on a planned new 10-story, 500,000 square-foot bioscience lab and office tower slated to be built atop the former Route 34 Connector downtown.
Construction beginning at corner of MLK Blvd. and Dwight.

Planned Cambria Hotel.
KBE Building Corporation has selected the large steel and concrete contractors for a six-story hotel that will complete development of the “Route 34 West” superblock. Now, it’s time to select subcontractors and fulfill city expectations of minority hiring.
Philanthropist Lindy Lee Gold, emeritus dean Ellen Durnin, and a really big check.
Southern Connecticut State University’s business program, which is getting a new building in 2023, has received its largest-ever donation, aimed at grooming future leaders.
“La Bottega” has opened within the Skappo storefront.
Anna Sincavage will sell dresses in the morning and lasagna in the evening — all from 59 Crown St.
That’s the plan now that the family behind Skappo Italian Wine Bar is taking advantage of lower indoor dining demand to convert one corner of their restaurant into a new mini-shop, La Bottega.
Fiber internet, coming soon to a neighborhood near us?
New Haven is trying again to bring high-speed Internet service to neighborhoods citywide, with a $1 million planned pilot and possible help on the way from D.C.
Robert Harris: I can’t make just a little collard greens.
It was 30 years ago when Robert Harris finally got his mother’s collard greens recipe exactly right.
Now he doesn’t even have to taste the cooked greens to know that they are ready for the customers of his Whalley Avenue restaurant, Mama Mary’s Soul Food.
Surface parking lots and piles of dirt have given way to rising cranes, skeletal assemblies of wood and steel, and even the occasional “Now Leasing” sign — as the city’s years-long building boom transitions into its next stage of development with over 1,700 new apartments coming online.

(Opinion) To live more sustainably in the future, we need to organize ourselves into “cells” of people working together to solve a problem. New Haven is a great place to start this new economy, because we are already connected through nonprofits, community organizations and mission-driven businesses.
Local Black-owned businesses can now apply for up to $10,000 in aid through the Economic Justice Fund run by the Connecticut Community Outreach Revitalization Program (ConnCORP).

Small shops offer more to downtowns than a historic or small-town feel. They help main streets adapt to and recover from recessions.
Connecticut Main Street Center CEO Patrick McMahon brought this advice to the Municipal Voice, a co-production of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities and WNHH.

Regardless of lines going out of the door of New Haven’s renowned “Little Italy” restaurants, many owners didn’t think they were going to make it through the pandemic.

The blue line of this chart represents the area currently subjected to 65 or more decibels of airplane noise from Tweed. The purple line represents the area that is projected to experience 65 or more decibels of noise by 2040 under the expansion plan.
Noise consultant Kate Larson at Wednesday night’s virtual community meeting.
Here’s the plan: The pandemic lifts. Air traffic comes roaring back. New Haven’s airport reaps the benefits with a longer runway.
Neighbors heard the plan and asked: Will that wreck the environment? Did the pandemic wreck the industry? And what about the noise at Wendy Guglietti’s house?
Move the airport terminal across the border into East Haven. Extend the main runway by 1,035 feet to allow for longer-distance flights.
Both of those proposals are included in Tweed-New Haven Airport’s new master plan, which is slated to be submitted to federal regulators later this month.
Gov. Ned Lamont Thursday announced that he’s easing Covid-19 restrictions in the state starting mid-March, as vaccines offer hope amid concerns from federal health officials that a rush to lessen precautions will lead to a new surge of cases.

In these days of quarantine there are few thrills like that of the doorbell — a mix of danger and excitement, anticipation and fear of contagion. When a crisp and optimistically white Atticus Bookstore Cafe-branded paper bag awaits, the day becomes like a holiday. When it’s filled with products birthed of partnerships and local flavor, doubly so.
