• New York developer plans 160 CT apartments this winter, nearly 630 to follow.

Local officials haven't commented publicly, but the company says permitting is done as it pushes similar "attainable" housing projects across Connecticut amid lawsuits, delays, and strong demand.
   

• Raven, Butterfly, Goldfinch And August Is Over! (blogspot.com) — A local birder describes biking through the farm fields along the Connecticut River in Rocky Hill, where closed gates now make the five-mile route best explored by bike.
