2. Wilton Sewer Projections Exceed Limit as Kimco Seeks Capacity (goodmorningwilton.com) — Wilton's sewer projections have now hit the town's contractual limit with Norwalk, putting new developments like Kimco's 225-unit River Road project under intense scrutiny. Officials approved a court-ordered allocation for 19 Cannon Road and are weighing how to prioritize remaining capacity, while also planning pipe and manhole repairs that could affect Routes 7 and 106 traffic patterns.
   

3. Nearly 300 Join P&Z as School Sisters Hearing Is Delayed (goodmorningwilton.com) — Wilton's Planning and Zoning Commission unexpectedly delayed the first public hearing on the proposed continuing care retirement community at the former School Sisters of Notre Dame property, frustrating nearly 300 residents who logged in to speak. The commission will first tackle zoning text changes, while an intervenor challenge, a protest petition, and heavy public comment could all shape the project's fate on Belden Hill Road.
   

4. Top high schools in Connecticut ranked for 2027: LIST (wtnh.com) — Wilton parents and students can celebrate Wilton High School being ranked eighth among Connecticut's top public high schools in Niche's new 2027 list, earning an A+ grade.

More Protection for America's Horses and More Opportunities (americanhorsepubs.org) — Wilton's own Rising Starr Equine Rescue is singled out with a Horse Whisperer Award from the EQUUS Foundation, part of more than $410,000 in grants and recognitions for equine charities nationwide.
