It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always.
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting Brookfield Common Historic District in Brookfield, CT gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Brookfield, CT is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“I am a current client of this provider We are using Always Best Care of Western Connecticut. They're good. At this point, my husband just needs companion care. They don't have to do a lot for him, but I just want someone there. I have been using them. It was recommended by a couple of other people. The caregiver is very good. She's talkative, and she is prompt. Always Best Care is caring, and I can rely on them to always have somebody to cover. Their billing and scheduling are very good. They send a bill in the mail. I feel comfortable with them, and they're reliable. I would recommend them to other friends or family members.”
“Lisa has been my aid for several weeks and I find her to be a perfect match right from the start. She knows my routine and tends to my every wish. She wipes down the shower, puts towels in washer or dryer, does my hair and I couldn't have anyone who would exceed her capable care and knowledge. She has personality plus and I'm very lucky to have her as my aid.”

These have not been the best of times for my family and especially hard on my Mom but we take great comfort knowing you are there to help. Our caretaker has been wonderful since my Dad was sent to River Glen in Southbury and from the very beginning of our ordeal. My Mom is extremely protective of my Dad and has always requested for Judy to help out with my Dad. To me that is the biggest proof of our confidence that has been my Mom's faith in her. Anything we have asked of her she has delivered and shown what most can't - that she really cares. Your Professional staff is a pleasure to work with - adapting schedules, applying payments quickly, and always courteous. I felt like great service should be made aware of and should set a standard that Always Best Care always seems to meet..”
“Your service was timely and most satisfactory !, I'll definitely keep you in mind for future needs.”
“Thank you so much for everything. Mom is not ready to take the step to accepting in-home help yet, but I can assure you that when she is, you will be our agency of choice. Knowing that you will be able to assist us when the time comes makes me feel so much better about all of this. For me, it makes a big difference to actually know someone who is in charge and I think that will make a difference with my Mom too.”
“Thank you so much for your kind, personalized service. My mother was always resistive to someone coming into her home to help care for her, but she is very, very pleased. Not only does she have someone to keep her company and meet her physical needs—her kitchen is looking cleaner than I have seen it in a while. Thank you again. Your kind manner was reassuring to my mother and to me, and you have made the process of caring for my mother at home easy and provided me with much needed relief so that I can actually return to work with a calm mind.”
“This company is courteous and very compassionate when it comes to caring for your loved ones. They are available 24/7 to help you fill all your caregiving needs and have a great pool of caregivers. The office staff is friendly, very supportive and they will go above and beyond to provide their customers the best service around. I would highly recommend them for any of your Homecare needs.”
“My experience interacting with Always Best Care far surpassed my expectations. They’re polite and courageous and always available 24/7 to answer questions and respond in an emergency situation.”
“I am sending you some of my thoughts about Always Best Care now that I have had time to reflect. Mom’s move to Assisted Living has gone very well and I’d like you to know:--From the initial home meeting and throughout my mother’s care, everyone was extremely personable, professional and knowledgeable of the home care industry. --ABC matched caregivers to my Mother’s needs and personality and we (and my Mother) were very happy with the care received and with the communication between caregivers and family.--Although my Mother is in Memory Care now, she still remembers ‘her ladies’ that not only assisted in her care, but more importantly, offered friendship. We would be very happy to be used as a reference if needed!”
“I have learned so much with having you and your staff care for my mother. I never would have expected her to rally so much after my father’s death. But it’s amazing what loving care can do –just amazing! Tracy and I cannot thank you enough – you have helped us see how to make our mother’s last days as pleasant and meaningful as possible–which is not only good for her but also for her whole family. I and my boys and husband, and my sister and her son and his family, we can all have time to connect with my mother that will surely enrich our lives forever—and that is such a precious gift! Thank you”
“Excellent company and high levels of customer service!”
“I forgot to tell you that I miss your compassion toward your people. You positive and helpful approach toward them is admirable. I did not have such luck with the local companies in MA, lacking good organization and consideration to the clients and the care givers. It is not an easy job accomplish such a success like yours.”
“I just wanted to shoot you a quick email expressing our thoughts about Mary, who was the caregiver for the weekend. We all thought she was wonderful!! I think her biggest strength is that she “sees the work”, needs little/to no direction, offers to take things out of our hands, is a true-go-getter. For Billie, this type of help is great since she feels like she can take some time to rest and trust all is okay. Mary works hard and is also very patient. I really think Mary is a natural dealing with elderly. She is patient and kind! Anyway, what I wanted to ask is if Mary can be the consistent caregiver for the weekends. The other 4 caregivers that I have met are also very nice. We would like Mary as much as possible as she is punctual, and as I mentioned before, ‘sees what needs doing”. She is focused on what she can do to help. She doesn’t just sit there next to Bill, she has eyes in the back of her head and goes the extra mile. Anything that needs to get done, she says “no wait, let me do it’—if she hasn’t already initiated it herself. She seems to have endless energy and never complained. I just felt compelled to drop you a this note to let you know how impressed we were with her. Thanks”

“Other Your service was timely and most satisfactory! I’ll definitely keep you in mind for future needs.”
“I am a past client of this provider Shame on me for not writing sooner. The days go by so fast –and thanks to your good care I am back to doing things for myself and being busy. Did my own deck this year! And other gardening ---feels good! Have started walking 3 times a week at the track! The big 90 will be here in October ---and I am going to be ready to celebrate it! Thank you again for all your help. It’s good to know it is there when I need it.”
“I am a past client of this provider My Mom’s last 15 months were made easier with the diligent and devoted care provided by Scheryl and your support to come up with replacements when she needed time off. Scheryl was caring and compassionate for both my Mom and her sister when she came to stay. They had a really nice bond. Both the ladies were ever grateful for Scheryl’s attention, conversation, cooking and friendship. Larry and I send best wish and sincere thanks!”
“Other We would like to express our appreciation and thanks for the in-home care that Always Best Care is providing our parents. You have guided us through this very difficult time and have helped us deal with my mother’s illness and her inability to care for my dad. Your caregivers are very capable and caring, and your staff is competent and thorough. We believe this makes your company invaluable to families with loved ones in need of assistance. We would recommend Always Best Care to anybody in search of quality care for their loved one. Thank you for all you and your staff do.”

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting Fox Brook Park in Brookfield, CT with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Flemings Prime Steakhouse Wine Bar or visit Hearthstone Castle, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Brookfield, CT, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Brookfield, CT understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Brookfield, CT 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

Leonardo DRS, Inc. has announced that it has signed an agreement for a new facility in Brookfield, Connecticut, that will expand and consolidate operations for its Naval Power Systems business, strengthening increased throughput and support for critical US Navy programs and positioning the company for future growth across the evolving nuclear energy landscape.
Located at 120 Park Ridge Road in Brookfield, the new site will provide 141,087 square feet of space and bring together operations currently spread across three locations in Danbury and Bethel, Connecticut. Initial occupancy is expected in early 2027, with the potential for limited occupancy in late 2026, depending on final design and tenant improvement construction.
“This new facility represents an important investment in the future of our Naval Power Systems business and in our ability to support mission-critical customer requirements,” said John Baylouny, Chief Executive Officer of Leonardo DRS. “By bringing these operations together in Brookfield, we are strengthening collaboration, improving efficiency, and creating the foundation needed to support continued growth across naval nuclear propulsion and the broader nuclear energy market.”
The Brookfield facility will replace the business’s current footprint of three locations in Danbury and Bethel, Connecticut.
As the nuclear industry enters a new era shaped by plant modernization, advanced reactor development, energy security priorities, and maritime nuclear innovation, Leonardo DRS expects the new Brookfield facility to provide the space and infrastructure needed to support continued growth and customer demand. The new site will create a more unified operating environment for employees and programs, supporting collaboration, efficiency, and long-term execution across the business.
“Leonardo DRS has a long history of delivering highly reliable technologies for some of the most demanding nuclear environments,” said Jon Miller, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Leonardo DRS Naval Power Systems business. “This investment gives us the space, infrastructure, and operational alignment to better serve our Navy customers today while also positioning the business to support emerging opportunities across the evolving nuclear sector.”
The project reflects the continued commitment of Leonardo DRS to investing in its facilities, workforce, and technical capabilities in support of national security priorities and the evolving needs of its customers.

A Brookfield corn maze is supporting Dolly Parton's children's literacy program with its fall festival.
The owners of the corn maze at Twins BBQ Co. chose Parton to be part of the maze months ago. From a bird's-eye view, the maze includes Dolly's face and her name, followed by "an American treasure."
The owners, Danielle and Mike Gallop, said her passing makes the design bittersweet, but more meaningful.
“We were so excited to honor her and celebrate her life," Danielle said. "She's a fantastic woman.”
This maze is one of 20 across the country that is taking part in the “Get Lost with Dolly” fall festival campaign. From September 5 to November 7, families can put their Dolly Parton knowledge to the test, listen to her music and sit down for story time.
“She was just always so giving and caring, and we own preschools as well, and she's very much about literacy with young people, and she always did everything for the children," Danielle explained.
Part of the proceeds from the festival will go to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library that sends free books to children from birth to five years old.
The Russell Library in Middletown is part of the program. The Stratford Education Foundation brought the Imagination Library to the town.
The United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut partnered with the library, sending a quarter of a million books to more than 11,000 kids in Hartford and New Britain since 2020.
“If a child is literate, is able to hit those milestones and be able to read, especially by the third grade, they're going to really succeed in life or at least have had the chance to – and so I think Dolly really was passionate about that," Eric Harrison, United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut President and CEO, said.
Parton has said her father’s inability to read or write inspired her to find a way to make kids fall in love with reading.
That passion and music, which spanned generations, are some of the reasons why fans will miss her.
“As she grew in her stature and fame, she kept singing about things that matters," Laura Noble from Maine said. "And her voice is amazing."

ARLINGTON, Va., — The U.S. national security defense contractor Leonardo DRS Inc. said Tuesday it plans to consolidate its three Naval Power Systems locations in Danbury and Bethel into a new headquarters in Brookfield.
The move is designed to increase throughput and support for critical U.S. Navy programs and position the company for future growth across the evolving nuclear energy landscape.
Located at 120 Park Ridge Road in Brookfield, the new site will provide 141,087 square feet of space. It expects to start relocating in early 2027, with the potential for limited occupancy in late 2026, depending on final design and tenant improvement construction.
The Park Ridge Road building, which opened in 2021, has been the global headquarters for Branson welding and assembly technologies. The property was recently sold to Winstanley Enterprises of Massachusetts for $32.5 million.
Leonardo DRS has leased the approximately 141,000-square-foot property from Winstanley Enterprises, according to Adam Winstanley, principal of the real estate investment and development firm.
“This new facility represents an important investment in the future of our Naval Power Systems business and in our ability to support mission-critical customer requirements,” said John Baylouny, CEO of Leonardo DRS. “By bringing these operations together in Brookfield, we are strengthening collaboration, improving efficiency, and creating the foundation needed to support continued growth across naval nuclear propulsion and the broader nuclear energy market.”

A proposed $272-million expansion of the Iroquois gas transmission system in Brookfield that sparked intense local opposition is getting its application process reopened after pushback from lawmakers and residents to ensure more public transparency, according to a town official.
The project seeks to add two new compressor units to an existing station on High Meadow Lane, increasing pipeline capacity without installing a new pipe, but requires final state air quality permits before moving forward. The “Enhancement by Compression” project aims to push an extra 125 million cubic feet of natural gas through the pipeline daily.
Critics of the project say the new compressors would cause air-pollution and health hazards. Environmental groups such as Save the Sound say it represents a doubling down by the state on fossil fuels, just as the state continues to fail to meet its climate goals. Others point to concern that the project would be located just 1,900 feet from Whisconier Middle School.
But local officials say that after coordinating with state leaders, including Gov. Ned Lamont and the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, that some changes for the project have been announced. Officials with DEEP recently agreed to reopen the application process for an adjudicatory hearing to allow for more public input and transparency around the proposal, local officials said. In addition, the agency said it would require more enhanced air testing at the facility, due to air quality concerns from residents.
The project is now awaiting a final air quality permit decision from the state pending public comment and information requests.
“After speaking with Governor Lamont’s Chief of Staff, he notified me that the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection will be reopening the Iroquois Gas Compressor application and will allow the town to apply for an Adjudicatory Hearing. Additionally, they will be requiring enhanced air testing at the facility. At this point, a final decision has NOT been made to require Iroquois to use electric compressors. However, this is a WIN for Brookfield and our residents who have been fighting for changes,” said Brookfield First Selectman Steve Dunn in a social media post.
DEEP reopened the application review to allow local participation following rare intense bipartisan pushback from town officials and residents, according to Dunn.
“Very positive news, and it’s a testament to the hard work of people of all ages and backgrounds throughout Brookfield who spoke out to demand changes. We joined together to cite the environmental risks for everyone in our community, and we have been unified in demanding transparency. Thank you to all who have been involved in this effort, and our vigilance must continue,” said Sen. Stephen Harding, R-Brookfield.
According to DEEP, a hearing on the application was held in January and, following it, the applicant requested to increase the carbon monoxide emissions limits in “the four permits from a total of 3.25 tons per year to a total of 12.25 tons per year.”
The agency noted that the commissioner had “reviewed the requested increase and hereby gives notice that a combined tentative determination has been reached to approve these amended applications with the requested increase in annual CO emissions” but also gave “notice that a hearing may be held on these applications if requested in accordance with applicable law, including Public Act 25-84.”
The application, permits, and supporting documentation for the project are all available upon request to the public, according to DEEP. Those documents can be viewed at DEEP’s Bureau of Air Management at 79 Elm St., Hartford, on the 5th floor. Officials say walk-ins are not allowed and documents can only be viewed on an appointment basis Tuesday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Appointments to view files can be made at https://shorturl.at/X1upW.
DEEP officials also say that anyone can now express their views on the project through public comments. Written comments should be directed to Mr. James Grillo with the Bureau of Air Management, no later than Aug. 24. Comments can be submitted by email to [email protected].
