Connecticut’s week is marked by a mix of fast-moving news, business accolades, and significant developments in government and local projects. Major headlines include a community rally in support of Esdras, a Wilbur Cross High School junior detained by immigration officials with deportation on hold as he remains at Plymouth County Correctional Facility, updates on the rapid Route 113 repair in Stratford following a June sinkhole, a deadly shooting in Basra involving Connecticut State Police that is under investigation by the Inspector General’s office, and legislative attention to federal scrutiny of Hartford nonprofit funding as Governor Lamont responds to questions about tens of millions in public dollars. FOX61 and Connecticut Senate Republicans report that federal investigators are also focusing on allegations of ethics violations linked to the former Chief State’s Attorney who paid seven thousand dollars to resolve the issue, as well as statements concerning Connecticut’s status as a so-called “super sanctuary” state under U.S. Justice Department definitions.

On the government front, the 2025 Connecticut legislative session ended in June after months of debate on issues including affordability, government efficiency, and energy rates, with Republican lawmakers mounting grassroots efforts and press conferences demanding relief from the cost-of-living crisis. Hartford remains under federal review as social service funding and management decisions draw questions from both state and federal officials.

Connecticut’s business landscape continues to impress, with thirty-four companies recently named to Inc. Magazine’s 2025 list of the fastest-growing private firms in America. West Hartford’s Global Medical Virtual Assistants leads the state at number 368 nationally, with over a thousand percent growth. Other standouts include Budderfly in Shelton, which secured one hundred million dollars in new funding for its energy services, and Greenwich-based Leverage Shares. Athletic Brewing Company in Milford enjoys its fourth consecutive inclusion, reflecting a robust climate for business growth.

On the community front, infrastructure improvement projects are underway, such as the Joe Marfuggi Riverwalk connecting Hartford and Windsor, now bolstered by a five hundred seventeen thousand dollar state grant for new amenities. In education, Greenwich’s Julian Curtiss School is undertaking renovations including enhanced handicap access, while Groton considers a fourteen-point-three-million-dollar bond to upgrade Fitch High School’s athletic facilities, a proposal soon heading to a referendum after local government review.

Traffic and public safety continue to dominate local updates, with Route 113 repairs in Stratford moving ahead of schedule—crews now working twenty hours a day to restore the critical stretch by mid-October after a drainpipe issue caused extensive damage.

Connecticut has largely avoided major weather disruptions this week, allowing state and local efforts to focus on infrastructure, education, and policy.

Looking ahead, listeners can watch for the outcome of the Fitch High School referendum in Groton, further developments in the Hartford nonprofit funding investigation, and the state’s continued progress on green energy projects, including a new university-based fuel cell initiative with potential to power thousands of homes. Stay tuned for more economic updates and legislative highlights as fall approaches.
