Housing Authority advances Millport capital funding requests
Other Committee · Meeting of March 18, 2026
New Canaan Housing Authority welcomes new commissioner, still can't set Canaan Parish return date. Commissioners swore in incoming member Marilyn, who will serve as resident commissioner and tenant liaison, with her formal swearing-in set for March 28. Staff reported first- and second-floor insulation work is complete at Canaan Parish, with sheetrock and a federal Inspire inspection, now covering both buildings instead of one, scheduled for April 15.
Riverwood occupancy sits at 97 percent as the authority continues paying displaced Canaan Parish tenants' rent there at Canaan Parish rates. The Board of Selectmen has approved advancing Millport repaving and security-system funding requests to the Board of Finance and Town Council in April. Commissioners debated but did not resolve how to handle snow removal after fixed-price contracts, especially at Riverwood, failed to account for a heavy winter: "The problem wasn't plowing.
The problem was where to put it after you've plowed it."
