The Town Council of Stratford, Connecticut, convened on January 24, 2024, to discuss zoning regulations and development standards. The meeting focused on the evolution of water management standards, particularly in relation to a long-standing development project that dates back to February 2008.

During the session, council members highlighted the significant upgrades to water quality regulations that have occurred since 2008. These changes have raised the standards for water clearing and pollution control, with the current compliance requirement set at a ratio of 1.3. The council emphasized the importance of adhering to these updated standards to ensure environmental protection.

A key contributor to the discussion, who worked closely with Mr. Casey, assured the council that all necessary compliance measures had been thoroughly reviewed. This preparation was aimed at addressing potential questions regarding the project’s adherence to the new regulations.

The meeting underscored the council's commitment to maintaining high environmental standards while navigating the complexities of long-term development projects. Further discussions and evaluations are expected as the council continues to oversee compliance with these enhanced regulations.
