Predatory developers are using the 8-30g statute to circumvent Fairfield’s zoning regulations. 

The state needs to scrap the 8-30g state statute and replace it with a program that helps towns build their own affordable housing, and allows our organic, affordable middle housing to be included in the state’s metrics. 

The Unquowa Road proposal, which is sandwiched between the historic Community Theater and Donnelly walk, in the heart of our historic downtown, as currently envisioned will exacerbate existing traffic, pedestrian safety, and flooding concerns in the downtown.  Working in the best interest of the town and protecting the historic charm of our downtown should not be a partisan issue. We need legislators that will represent our residents and not sit on the sidelines.

Session after session, it is the Democratic leadership in Hartford that has refused to address or amend the shortcomings of 8-30g, which cannot make CT affordable.

Please sign our petition to repeal 8-30g and let Connecticut's majority party know that enough is enough. Developments such as the ones on Unquowa Place, lower Black Rock Turnpike, Castle Avenue (approved), and applications on Beach Road & Unquowa Road are not going to stop until we take action. 

The time is now, please join our fight for Fairfield’s future!
