Spotlight

This section features our main reporting each week.

When people think about new development in our region, the Norwalk–Wilton border isn’t the first place that comes to mind. But 500+ new apartments, a hotel, and more are coming to the area. And it’s also home to ASML, a semi-conductor company that’s one of the region’s largest employers.

Explore some of what’s proposed for this area or check out our video.
