Lakeville Journal Editorial

The continuing public discussion on affordable housing for the town of Falls Village has found a home on the Opinion page of this newspaper.

When the state of Connecticut first shut down in the middle of March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most of us, it seems reasonable to assume, believed it would be for a couple of weeks or so.

During this time of pandemic, it’s been challenging for our state legislators to keep up with passing bills that address their constituents’ ongoing changing needs. But when push comes to shove, they are opting for returning to work to make things happen.

The decision of First Light power company to limit access to the Great Falls area in Falls Village and Amesville is not only due, but overdue.

First and foremost, this is all about gratitude. We can only humbly thank our readers for giving us such incredible support when we direly needed it. Here is a synopsis of the past year in the life of The Lakeville Journal Company. 

Even as Connecticut and New York experience a respite from the ravages of the coronavirus, we in the Northwest Corner can’t help but feel for the states that are now hot spots, just as our state and neighboring N.Y.

Bit by bit, with life starting to find its own level toward normality as we continually experience COVID-19 pandemic repercussions, some benchmarks are significant. One of the most noteworthy for young families happened this week: child-care centers began to reopen.

And then things start to happen,

don’t worry. Don’t stew.

Just go right along.

You’ll start happening too.
