Community land trust debated by housing and land bank groups
Alma Rutgers urged merging housing advocates and land bank supporters into a community land trust to satisfy open space and housing needs. The land bank committee seeks town backing to create a land banking tax and commission, while housing advocates push a town housing trust fund. The Board of Selectmen postponed a vote, awaiting clearer committee duties and future reviews.

Court puts first offenders to work in community service
A 17-year-old Greenwich youth and a 16-year-old first-time offender are performing community service under the Volunteer Center Court Program in Stamford. The youths aid downtown parking surveys for the Chamber of Commerce and maintain facilities for the Boys Club of Greenwich, as prosecutors and judges view this as a path to restore their records.
