July 18, 2017 In Election 2017

Come to the Bethel Democratic Caucus on Wednesday, July 19

Local elections determine the money budgeted for our kids’ schools, how much we pay in property taxes, and whether our town can afford enough snowplows to dig us out of winter storms. Presidential elections are important, but local elections determine whether potholes get fixed and the quality of the water coming out of our taps. They’re about the kind of community we want to be. Come be a part of the process! This Wednesday, Bethel Democrats will choose the candidates who will run for election this fall at the Democratic Caucus.

It’s at the C. J. Hurgin Municipal Center, in the Senior Center Cafeteria, at 7:30pm. All Bethel residents who are registered Democrats are strongly encouraged to come and participate! Not sure if you’re registered? Click here to learn how to find out.

Bethel Awarded $800,000 In Grants For Reynolds Ridge Senior Housing

Bethel has been awarded $800,000 in funds from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Small Cities Program to renovate and update the Reynolds Ridge Senior Housing Complex.  Renovations are to include the creation of two handicapped accessible units, replacement of interior and exterior doors, replacement of windows, and improving energy efficiencies in 80 units of housing.

Reynolds Ridge was completed in 1979 to provide elderly and disabled housing for the low income elderly (62+) and self-sufficient persons of disability, it is subsidized through HUD’s Section 8 program. Located on a hilltop in the country, with bus service to downtown Bethel and surrounding towns, there are 26 efficiency apartments and 14 one bedroom apartments for qualified low income senior citizens, age 62 and older and self-sufficient persons of disability.

The Reynolds Ridge Complex serves an integral part in this community by ensuring that seniors and disabled persons have a safe place to live.  Thank you to our First Selectman and members of the Bethel Housing authority who helped to secure these much needed funds!
