Therefore, I am using this plat- form to address some issues that have come to my attention. Since the cost for out-of-town memberships to our Senior Center went up in January 2020, there have been a few miscon- ceptions that have come to my attention. First and foremost, the one rumor that I would definitely like to address is the story going around that the Prospect Town Council raised the dues of our out-of-town members because they are trying to “get rid” of the non-residents that come here. The story goes that the Town Council is trying to keep our Senior Center strictly for Prospect residents only. Nothing could be further from the truth. I value the out-of-town members who come here. I feel they have contributed significantly to the growth of our Senior Center. Many of these members run programs here and volun- teer in a number of different capacities. They are my lifeline and help me in ways that I could never repay them for. I and the Town Council members would never want to “get rid” of them. I will tell you point blank why the Town Council decided to raise membership dues for out- of-town members.

I hope that this guide helps to make your time in New Britain more engaging. As you explore the pages that follow, one thing will become unmistakably clear: New Britain is a unique community, full of diverse and deeply-rooted cultures and, of course, wonderful people. Our economy, arts, food, and civic life all reflect our breadth of shared experiences and ethnicities, and have made us a stronger and more vibrant community as a result. New Britain has long been known as “The Hardware City.” Throughout the 20th century, our economy was anchored by large-scale manufacturing. Companies like The Stanley Works, American Hardware, Fafnir Bearing and Corbin-Russwin all called New Britain home. But as times & technology changed, and manufacturing began leaving the northeast, our economy suffered the same fate as many old factory towns in New England. Today, New Britain is a City is experiencing a rebirth with the opening of new businesses and the completion of infrastructure projects like the Beehive Bridge and our award-winning Complete Streets Masterplan.

  • National Voter Registration Day Social Media Campaign Boosts Voter Registration
    DENISE W. MERRILL SECRETARY OF THE STATE CONNECTICUT For Immediate Release: September 28, 2016 - PRESS RELEASE - NATIONAL VOTER REGISTRATION DAY SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN BOOSTS VOTER REGISTRATION HARTFORD: Elected officials, sports team, universities, local non-profits and other high profile state figures rallied on National Voter Registration Day to boost registration in Connecticut. Using the hashtag #MyVoteCT, people shared selfies, photos from voter registration drives and other messages to encourage voter registration. Lawmakers, public figures and sports teams like the Connecticut Sun, Hartford Wolf Pack, New Britain Bees and Hartford Yard Goats, all joined the effort. #MyVoteCT even trended on Twitter for several hours and garnered more than 400,000 impressions, according to the Twitter analytics website TweetReach. The impact to online voter registration was significant. New online voter registration applications, 9/27/2016: 6,099 New online voter registration applications for the same 24-hour period of the preceding week, 9/20/2016: 696 Secretary Merrill said, “Thanks so much to everyone who participated. The impact was tremendous. We need to reach people where they are and we know that social media can be a valuable tool to get people engaged in our democracy. The system works best when everyone participates.” The National Voter Registration Day campaign followed a successful Facebook promotion that ran from September 23 to September 26 and which registered 15,000 people in three days. Citizens have until November 1 to register to vote online, by mail or in-person. While same-day registration is in effect on November 8, the Secretary of the State is urging everyone to register in advance to mitigate potentially long lines on Election Day.

  • Bees Vs Sea Unicorns Recap 5/26/21
    Ben Berg | Beat Writer | @bergywergy3030 | 5/26/21 Bees win Opening Day marathon over Sea Unicorns after epic rally in 6th inning This Wednesday, May 26 was opening day of the 2021 New Britain Bees season, and with fans back in New Britain Stadium at full capacity for the first time since 2019, the hive was buzzing all night; and the night was long. The Bees hosted the Norwich Sea Unicorns as one of the three new teams in the Futures Collegiate Baseball League of New England and, fortunately for the fans, the Bees overcame an early 5-run deficit to emerge victorious. They won by a final score of 11-6 to start the season with an important victory. Much to the delight of the crowd, the Bees struck first offensively. In the second inning, Bees’ designated hitter Andrew Cain reached base on a fielder’s choice, then shortstop Jack Reardon stroked a double to right field off Norwich starter Gary Costello that sent Cain to third base. Luckily for New Britain, a throwing error and some heads-up baserunning allowed Cain to cross home plate and take the early 1-0 lead. After retiring the first eight batters he faced, Bees’ starter Dawson Logie let up a bloop single to third-baseman James Dolan with 2 outs in the third inning that would foreshadow the turning point of the evening for Logie. From there, Logie (and two fielding errors behind him) allowed the next seven Norwich players to reach base safely. By the end of the third inning, Logie had surrendered 5 hits, 2 walks and 6 total runs (4 earned), all with 2 outs.
