NAUGATUCK The Inland Wetlands Commission on April 7 closed a hearing on an application associated with developing a parcel of land on Prospect Street that has provoked an outcry from the public.
The proposal’s fate is still to be determined.
The commission did not vote on the application last week and had 35 days from the hearing to make a decision.
“This really is very, very important to us,” Commission Chairman Tracy DeBarber said. “A very important job, we want to make sure it’s done right.”

NAUGATUCK â The Board of Mayor and Burgesses on March 2 approved a new ordinance that gives officials the power to extend water lines and divvy up the cost among property owners.
Under the ordinance, the cost of extending a water line in residential areas will be divided among property owners based on the number lots capable of being served by the water main and abutting it.
In industrial and commercial zones, the cost will be divided among each property owner abutting the main on a case-by-case basis based on a front footage or âother equitable basis,â the ordinance states.
