EASTERN CONNECTICUT — November 2, 2026 edition. Selected official notices offer opportunities to comment on town ordinances, zoning proposals and bridge work. All times are Eastern Standard Time. A scheduled hearing or proposed vote does not establish approval.
ELLINGTON — A public hearing on a proposed Board of Education Unexpended Education Fund ordinance is scheduled for Monday, November 9, at 6 p.m. at the Nicholas J. DiCorleto, Jr. Meeting Hall in Town Hall, 55 Main Street. A special town meeting will follow immediately to discuss and vote on the ordinance. The proposal would create a separate, non-lapsing fund for unspent education money, with prior-year operating-surplus contributions capped at 2% of that year’s budgeted education appropriation. The notice allows in-person or Zoom participation; use its linked joining instructions. The ordinance remains proposed.
ELLINGTON CANCELLATION — The town’s current calendar marks the November 2 Zoning Board of Appeals meeting canceled. Do not attend based on its former 7 p.m. listing. This cancellation is separate from the November 9 ordinance hearing.
STERLING — A special town meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, November 4, at 7 p.m. in the Town Hall gymnasium, 1183 Plainfield Pike, Oneco. Questions include a proposed street-takeover ordinance; property-tax abatements for qualifying active or retired Sterling and Oneco volunteer emergency personnel; sewer-charge collection authority; withholding building permits for delinquent water or sewer charges, with a proposed hardship exception; and $192,901.25 in fiscal 2025–26 year-end transfers. Proposed texts are available through the town website and Town Clerk. The notice also provides advance Zoom registration. These are matters for consideration, not reported enactments.
EAST LYME — The Zoning Commission’s Thursday, November 5 meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall, 108 Pennsylvania Avenue, Niantic. The agenda continues a hearing on changing the CA Commercial district north of Black Point Road to R-10 Residential. It also lists Harry Heller’s proposed amendment to minimum controls for multi-family, multi-story Section 202 housing for the elderly; the separate public hearing notice confirms that proposal’s time and venue. Review the applications through the town’s land-use offices. Neither listing establishes approval.
WOODSTOCK — The next hearing on the draft 2026–2036 Plan of Conservation and Development is Thursday, November 19, at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall, 415 Route 169, and online via Zoom. The current municipal notice continues to seek comments on the draft. The town’s linked plan and meeting materials should be consulted for participation updates; questions may be directed to landuse@woodstockct.gov. The draft is not an adopted zoning change or a construction approval.
GROTON — CTDOT is accepting comments through Thursday, November 12, on proposed rehabilitation of Route 349 bridges 07109 and 07110. The agency lists an October 29 public meeting; that meeting date has passed, while the comment period remains open.

This is original, AI-prepared reporting on selected notices, not a complete review of all 49 towns, legally sufficient statutory publication or legal advice. Official records control the detailed requirements. Recheck source documents for amendments and cancellations before attending or filing. No current town-specific liquor application or decision is reported here because one was not independently established.
