Por recomendación de un vecino de Lewis Street, acabamos de cambiar de Comcast Xfinity a Frontier Fiber (¡Fair Haven ahora está cableado!). Nuestro Internet se volvió mucho más rápido y estamos ahorrando $40 al mes en nuestra factura. Programamos la instalación en 4 días, el instalador fue muy amable y todo está bien. Lo recomendamos, ¡es una auténtica ganga!<br />

At the rec of a Lewis Street neighbor, we just switched from Comcast Xfinity to Frontier Fiber (Fair Haven is now wired!). Our internet got much faster and we're saving $40/month on our bill. We scheduled install within 4 days, installer was super friendly, all is well. We recommend it, it's a real deal!Yale Research Project on Sense of National Belonging | Investigación Sobre La Identidad Nacionaltag:chathamsquare.ning.com,2024-02-03:4922875:BlogPost:1879322024-02-03T20:35:39.000ZAlex Guzhnayhttps://chathamsquare.ning.com/profile/AlexGuzhnay

<p>If so, then please consider participating in the New Haven Puerto Rican Oral History Project!</p>
<p>My name is Amanda Rivera, I’m a third-generation Boricua from New Jersey, and I’m a graduate student researcher in the Department of American Studies at Yale University. I’m really passionate about studying our people and the ways we’ve built (and continue to build) communities on the mainland. For my research, I’m studying Puerto Rican communities in New Haven and Bridgeport, emphasizing the different education-related projects we’ve been involved with, from the 1960s through present day (ex. bringing bilingual education to public schools in the 1970s; having access to college after affirmative action in the 1970s and 1980s, etc).</p>
<p>As part of that research, I'm creating oral history collections, sitting down with folks for an hour or so and asking them to share about their lives. For folks here in New Haven, I’d love to talk about what brought you to New Haven, which neighborhoods you grew up in and whether you’re still in them; what life was like for you growing up here (or moving here, if you came more recently); etc. I'm recording and publishing the oral histories online, so that our communities have access to these collections long after I've finished my research.</p>
<p>Everyone has a story worth telling. If you’re at all interested in being a part of this project, or would like some more information, please reach out to me via email: amanda.rivera@yale.edu.</p>Apetite Spot - Cositas Deliciosastag:chathamsquare.ning.com,2023-10-18:4922875:BlogPost:1863742023-10-18T13:29:17.000ZLee Cruzhttps://chathamsquare.ning.com/profile/LeeCruz

<div class="av-subheading av-subheading_below"><p>New Haven boasts a rich manufacturing history with several major manufacturers and notable innovations. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the city thrived as an industrial hub. Raw materials were brought into the harbor and finish goods went out via the rail service to New York. These manufacturing giants attracted skilled workers and immigrants, shaping the city’s diverse population.</p>
<p>Eli Whitney’s interchangeable parts technology revolutionized mass production and placed New Haven at the forefront of innovation and manufacturing which was further driven by companies such as the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, renowned for revolutionizing firearm production. The New Haven Clock Company, which produced high-quality timepieces, earned New Haven the moniker of the “Clock City.” Eli Whitney Blake’s crushed stone made highway and railroad bed mass construction possible.</p>
<p>The city’s history of innovation and economic growth owes much to the leadership and vision of key figures in these companies, who spearheaded advancements and propelled New Haven’s manufacturing sector to greatness. However, with the decline of traditional manufacturing in the late 20th century, New Haven faced economic challenges and a loss of jobs.</p>
<p>Efforts supported by the city of New Haven and directly by Connecticut are now underway to revitalize the manufacturing sector through initiatives like MATCH, focused on workforce development, entrepreneurship, and innovation.</p>

<div class="av-subheading av-subheading_below"><p>The MATCH model is based on the idea that everything is a training opportunity. Manufacturing is about more than standing at a machine; through MATCH’s bilingual training, we will help our trainees acquire a broad set of meaningful skills.</p>
<p>MATCH will design the curriculum based on manufacturing and training best practices to achieve maximum deliverables. MATCH will provide both 25 hour and 40 hour weekly training modules. The 25 hour module is specifically intended to welcome women and/or parents to the workforce and afford them the path to greatly change personal wealth and well-being.</p>
<p>MATCH students can be enrolled in the Connecticut Department of Labor Pre-Apprenticeship program.</p>

A sculpture in Fair Haven shows silhouettes of the New Haven Oyster Tonging Sharpie. The boat was a local invention, built first in the 1840s by James Goodsell, according to local historian Neil Berro.</div>
<div class="RSEP-articleContainer"><div class="RSEP-articleBody"><p>Neil Berro, a local amateur historian, is building a massive manuscript on the history of Connecticut oystering titled <em>Oyster Haven Lost</em>.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dear neighbors,</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Monday night, the Board of Alders voted to allocate $53 Million in American Rescue Plan funding for a wide variety of initiatives. This includes some important projects for Ward 14 and Fair Haven, including:</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><b>* Renovation of the Atwater Senior Center into a full-service Community Center</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">with programming for all ages</span></p>
<p></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additional allocations were made to support the following:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Affordable Housing</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">via security deposit assistance, down payment and closing cost assistance, and homeownership support programs</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Vocational and Technical Education</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">planning, design, and program support</span></li>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Estimados vecinos,</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Este lunes pasado, la Junta de Concejales votó la asignacion de $53 millones en la financiación del Plan “American Rescue” para una amplia variedad de iniciativas. Esto incluye algunos proyectos importantes para el Distrito 14 y Fair Haven, incluyendo:</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span> </span></p>
<p><b>* Renovación del Centro de Ancianos Atwater en un Centro Comunitario</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">de servicio completo con programación para todas las edades</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span> </span></p>
<p><b>* Apoyo al Distrito de Servicios Especiales de Grand Avenue</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">para sostener y hacer crecer los negocios y la vida pública en Grand Avenue en consonancia con</span> <a href="https://ctmainstreet.org/how-we-help/downtown-resources/"></a><a href="https://ctmainstreet.org/how-we-help/downtown-resources/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">los principios de "Main Street"</span></a></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Se realizaron asignaciones adicionales para apoyar lo siguiente:</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><b>Viviendas Asequibles</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a través de la ayuda con depósito de seguridad, la ayuda al pago inicial y a los costes de cierre, y los programas de apoyo a la propiedad de la vivienda</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Planificación, diseño y apoyo a</span> <b>Programas de Formación Profesional y Técnica</b></li>
<li><b>Actividades para los Jóvenes<span style="font-weight: 400;">, incluyendo las actividades emergentes en los barrios, conciertos, campamentos y empleo</span></b></li>
<li><b>Educación de Edad Temprana</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a través de subvenciones a las guarderías a domicilio y a los centros de atención infantil</span></li>
<li><b>Respuesta a la Emergencia Climática</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a través de programas de incentivos, formación en habilidades ecológicas y mejoras ecológicas en los edificios de la ciudad </span></li>

</ul>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Estas inversiones se extenderán durante los próximos cuatro años hasta el final del periodo de financiación, el 31 de diciembre de 2026. La resolución de la Junta de Concejales exige la presentación de informes periódicos sobre el gasto y los resultados, que estarán a disposición del público. Así que habrá mucha más información sobre todo lo anterior. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Con esperanza y en colaboración,</span></p>
