Public Hearing on Authorization for Joining the Connecticut Municipal Development Authority (CMDA) - May 13, 2025

On Tuesday, May 13, 2025, at 6:03 PM, the New Britain Common Council held a public hearing in Council Chambers, City Hall, 27 West Main Street, to consider a resolution authorizing the city to join the Connecticut Municipal Development Authority (CMDA) as a member municipality. The hearing was called to order by the Chair, roll call was taken with 8 aldermen present (sufficient for a quorum), and the reading of the legal notice was waived by a motion that passed unanimously. No members of the public or remote callers spoke during the public comment period. The hearing was closed at 6:05 PM, after which a special meeting of the zoning subcommittee convened.

Key Outcomes

  • The public hearing was held as scheduled; no public testimony was offered.
  • The item (Authorization for joining CMDA) was not voted on during the hearing; the hearing served as a required public input step. The resolution will proceed to the Common Council for a vote at a subsequent meeting.
