The September R.E.A.D. 2025

REPORT
Welcome to the September edition of the READ newsletter! We’re sharing highlights from the past month in climate and environmental news, along with a look ahead at upcoming events. We’re also excited to be gearing up for our 25th Anniversary Celebration next month.

September has brought several developments to Connecticut’s energy landscape. From uncertainty around the Revolution Wind offshore wind project, to the resignation of PURA Chair Marissa Gillett, there has been no shortage of important news. Looking ahead, CTLCV will continue to advocate for solutions that bring clean, reliable & affordable energy to our state.

Additionally, conversations around affordable housing continue, both in your communities and at the Capitol. We believe environmental protection and affordable housing go hand in hand, not against each other. Earlier this month, our team attended the YIMBYtown conference in New Haven. Read our recap of the event here, with linked resources. We’ll also be watching the developments around the potential special session at the Capitol.
