GREENWICH, CT A newly-formed task force made up of residents is looking to enhance community character and create a sense of place in their section of town.
The Glenville Beautification Task Force in conjunction with the Pemberwick Glenville Association held a public forum via Zoom last week to inform residents about the work they ve been doing and what lies ahead. The task force was created in January of 2021, and aims to springboard off the ongoing work and plans related to the Glenville Traffic Corridor Project.

The vote to keep the mill rate flat was unanimous. (Harry Zernike/Patch)
GREENWICH, CT The Greenwich Board of Estimate and Taxation set the mill rate for the next fiscal year on Monday night, and much to the delight of town residents, it will remain flat.
The BET unanimously approved a Democratic motion to use savings from state healthcare premiums to keep the mill rate flat at 11.590 for fiscal year 2021-2022. The mill rate is used to calculate property and vehicle tax.
Originally going into last week s Representative Town Meeting budget deliberations, the mill rate was expected to increase by .29. But the state of Connecticut revised its healthcare premiums which resulted in the Town of Greenwich saving $2 million.

A new ice rink is estimated to cost $17 million. (Harry Zernike/Patch)
GREENWICH, CT The Greenwich Representative Town Meeting made just four cuts before approving a $448.5 million municipal budget for the fiscal year 2021-2022 on Monday night.
Among those cuts was the reduction from $950,000 to $50,000 for design work for a new ice rink, which passed by a vote of 120 in favor, 80 opposed, with 10 abstentions.
Lucia Jansen, Chair of the RTM s Budget Overview Committee (BOC), which brought forth the motion to reduce, said the BOC supports a new rink, but more needs to be known about the project after questions were raised during the reviewal process.
