TRUMBULL Starting at $4,000 a month, residents of the River Valley Retirement Community can enjoy things like lobster rolls, an on-site movie theater and round-the-clock service in a “cruise ship” resort-style setting.
“Have some lobster!” Carol Maddock, one of the property managers, said as she greeted visitors in the building’s main atrium that features an indoor waterfall and four fireplaces across three levels. The seafood truck in the parking lot spent eight hours on site Thursday serving up buttery lobster rolls to tenants and guests.

TRUMBULL Drug dealing, picket fences and urbanization were some issues the Planning and Zoning Commission grappled with during its hearing this week into allowing upright headstones at Gate of Heaven Cemetery.
The cemetery has only had flat grave markers since its 1959 founding.
Though the two-hour meeting ultimately ended without a vote on the matter, attorney Ray Rizio described the modifications the diocese planned to the cemetery. The updated proposal was based on feedback he received from the commission at its Dec. 16 meeting.

TRUMBULL The Planning & Zoning Commission has cleared the way for a 260-unit apartment complex on lower Main Street, approving plans for the site by a 3-2 vote.
The three commissioners voting in favor, Chairman Fred Garrity, Tony Silber and Tony D’Aquila, agreed with town staff that the proposal met the requirements established in 2018 and helped secure the future of the town’s largest taxpayer. Commissioners Larry LaConte and Anthony Chory voted against the project during Thursday’s meeting.
