Letter from New Canaan Library

By |

To the Editor:
Like the many volunteers in Town who commit time and talent to benefit our community, the New Canaan Library Board is dedicated to providing exceptional service to New Canaanites. We are equally proud to operate as a trusted fiduciary partner to government and taxpayers. Given this history, we were both surprised and deeply disappointed in Town Council’s decision to halve our one-time request for an increase in its contribution to the Library’s operating budget which was designed to meet the extraordinary demand we have experienced this past year. The action taken by the Town Council will force us to slash the Library’s programs and services to a level that would have barely been sufficient in the old Library building. This is a step backwards and certainly not what our community wants.

The New Canaan Building Department has issued a permit for a new 6,397-square-foot house on Carter Street. The new home at 250 Carter St. will include five bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and one half-bath, according to a building permit issued March 12. 

It will be located on what tax records show as a vacant 2-acre parcel near the intersection of Carter and Clapboard Hill Road. Its owner acquired the property in 2014, tax records show, and owns an adjacent lot. 

The new house will have a 915-square-foot finished attic and three-car garage. It will cost $1.2 million to build, according to the permit.

I think Brad & Vandy Reh Fine & Estate Jewelry is an incredible resource , sort of hidden away, like a hidden gem. I feel like they are a throwback from a time when you were greeted by name with personalized care by gracious and kind owners Van and Brad Reh. I only learned about them from a friend.
