Greetings Neighbors,

I have some news to share about our new Downtown Wooster Square District Manager. Please welcome LT David Guliuzza who is now serving in this role and will be making connections with us in Wooster Square soon. Lt Guliuzza is a 23-year veteran of the Department and has served in the Patrol Division. His contact information is dgul...@newhavenct.gov - 203.589.9048. Our previous District Manager, Brendan Borer, has been promoted to Captain and is now serving in the Investigative Services Division. We will miss Captain Borer and thank him for all he has done for Wooster Square!

Below are several updates you might want to know about - three from Alder Smith's Ward 9 Newsletter, and one from the City's Economic Development Office and our LCI Liaison, Elijah McLaurin.
