One of CTrides’ main objectives for FY ‘18 centers around an in-depth analysis of CTrides marketing strategies through the use of behavioral economic tactics. BEworks CTrides procured the services of BEworks, a firm that specializes in behavioral economics, to take a holistic look at CTrides’ entire marketing portfolio. Further, BEworks will engage with CTrides employer partners to get a better understanding of how organizations are receiving messages and what will drive them to use an alternate commute. This process will take the entirety of the fiscal year and kicked off in Q4 with the planning and developmental phases. A discovery stage involved CTrides providing current marketing materials to BEworks as part of their initial examination, as well as interviews with current CTrides team members and key stakeholders at the Connecticut Department of Transportation. These interviews included the Commissioner’s Office. Once BEworks processes the interviews and materials, a workshop will be held in Q1 to discuss initial findings before employer interviews are conducted. Additional Marketing CTrides began development of a completely revamped Transportation Leaders program during Q4 for rollout during 2018 Q1 or Q2. This is intended to give organizations an incentive to continue to strive to implement commuter-friendly programs by creating multiple recognition levels that an employer can achieve.

  • Connecticut Town Guides: Compiled from Collections at the CT State Library
    Connecticut Town Guides: Compiled from Collections at the CT State Library Compiled by Jeannie Sherman, Reference Librarian, History & Genealogy Unit, Connecticut State Library, 2016 Introduction Many people visit the Connecticut State Library to research their family history. We hold one of the best genealogy collections in Connecticut including our indexes to pre-1850 vital records, cemetery inscriptions, church & family bible records, marriage & death notices, and probate estate papers. Though these indexes are state-wide by surname, we also hold records for each town. As any person who attempts to do genealogy research in Connecticut discovers, knowing what town a family lived in is very important. Connecticut currently has one hundred and sixty-nine towns each with their own vital, land, and probate district chronology. As towns in Connecticut were created, most were set off from a parent town. County boundaries also changed throughout Connecticut's history, so knowing a parent town or knowing in which county a town was located over time can help researchers search for court and other records. The purpose of these Town Guides is to have in one place basic information about each town. This includes the year it was established, the parent town, historical county information, vital and church record information, a probate district chronology, and a list of cemeteries that were inventoried in the Hale Collection. For town vital records and church records, both the Connecticut State Library (CSL) microfilm number and the Latter-Day Saint (LDS) microfilm number are given where applicable. Researchers are encouraged to search by film number within the LDS catalog as many vital records can be found online.

  • City of Middletown Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community
    CITY OF MIDDLETOWN CONSOLIDATED PLAN For Housing & Community Development September 1, 2000 to August 31, 2005 Department of Planning, Conservation and Development City of Middletown 245 deKoven Drive Middletown, CT 06457 Five Year Consolidated Plan 2000-2005 - Middletown, CT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Consolidated Plan is the comprehensive guide for the next five years of community development. The Plan represents a collaborative approach to the identification of needs and the establishment of strategies for effective housing and community development. This year, the Plan has been prepared in conjunction with the State-required Comprehensive Plan of Conservation and Development in an effort to ensure that all City Commissions and Agencies are following the same overall plan and are pursuing the same goals, objectives and strategies. Over the past six months, numerous meetings have been held with housing and homeless service providers, business concerns, the housing authority and citizens representative committees. Whenever possible, the most current data from primary sources were used. In the last five-year plan, economic development and employment training were the key processes through which the City of Middletown proposed to increase the wellbeing of its homeless, at-risk, low- and moderate-income residents. This process, coupled with the resurgence of the regional economy, has worked. Unemployment was at a low of 2.9% in the City of Middletown as of February 2000. The HUD-adjusted Area Median Family Income is $59,600. The City is in very good condition as a financial whole. Unfortunately however, the gap between the majority of Middletown’s residents and its poor has widened.

  • CHAPTER 6: SERVICES and INFRASTRUCTURE Introduction
    Chester 2009 Plan of Conservation and Development Page 6‐1 CHAPTER 6: SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE Introduction Town services and infrastructure are the framework on which the community network operates, progresses, and interacts. Town services include governing boards and commissions, social services, recreational programs, education, public safety, and public works. Infrastructure incorporates tangible facilities that can be moved, expanded, modified, or removed. The library, town hall, community center, transportation, communications, parks, trails, water, sewer, fire stations, and schools are some of the significant facilities that enhance community character and quality of life. This Plan of Conservation and Development explores Chester’s services and infrastructure to provide recommendations to address future needs. To coordinate efficient and effective town planning, multiple services need to be supported by mutually shared infrastructure. A caveat in final recommendations within this section of the plan is the ability of the town to legally act within the context of enabling statutes outlined by the State of Connecticut. There are also policies and standards outlined by the state and federal government which the town follows in the context of receiving state funding or use of state property. Chester has significant acreage dedicated to state or regional ownership; parks, forest, regional watershed, and transportation. The town’s ability to coordinate future planning goals with infrastructure improvements in parks, roads, and utilities
