Greetings on yet another wonderfully warm fall day! 🍁🍂🍁 Here are three community updates! 

New Coffee Shop on Chapel St near Academy

Stop by for delicious coffee and soon-to-come good bites! 

CompStat Public Safety Report 

• At Thursday's bi-weekly CompStat Meeting, Lt. Borer reported that there were two motor vehicle thefts in Wooster Square over the past two weeks - one each from car rental spots on Olive (Avis) and Water Streets (UHaul). 

• I also am sharing an article about Project Longevity, a city-wide effort to engage young people at risk of or involved in street violence. I've been aware of Project Longevity since getting involved with the Wooster Square Watch in 2017, and have been impressed with its respectful and direct approach of offering assistance that can help turn lives around and reduce community violence. I've participated in a Call-in and found it moving and provocative. This NH Independent article highlights the complex nature of the work. Here is the link. https://www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/fourth_annual_project_longevity_award_ceremony/
