Good morning, Norwalk. Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 28th of March.

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

  • A partial solar eclipse will occur Saturday before sunrise in our area as the moon covers about 20-30% of the sun—making it look like a crescent. Residents should wear proper eclipse glasses instead of regular sunglasses and check local forecasts as the event peaks at 6:47 a.m. and ends at 7:04 a.m.  News 12 Connecticut

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • The Planning and Zoning Commission approved Norwalk’s plan to buy a $1.1M plot at 6 Butler Street near Mathews Mansion so the city can improve access to Mathews Park—this proposal now goes to the Common Council for further action. City officials said funds originally set aside for a 20-unit building will be used for paving projects due to a missed deadline—officials noted there is no solid design yet.  Nancy On Norwalk
  • On March 26, Mayor Rilling announced that Jared Schmitt had been appointed as Norwalk’s new chief financial officer and he joined the City on April 2 to replace Henry Dachowitz, who left in December. Schmitt brings over 16 years of public financial management experience from his work in Fairfield.  City of Norwalk
  • Connecticut lawmakers are debating a bill that would let incarcerated people ask for sentence reductions after a shorter waiting period—two years instead of five. Randal Chinnock from the Connecticut Second Look Sentencing Project said the change would give reformed offenders a fairer chance and could lower state costs—voting on the bill is set for April 11.  Connecticut Public
