The New London City Council made significant strides in its latest meeting, approving a budget for the relocation of full chamber water service. This decision, which aims to streamline operations and cut costs, was met with unanimous support from council members. The chair of the authority emphasized the efficiency of the project, stating, "You're not gonna get a better job, a quicker job, or a cheaper job anywhere else."

In addition to the water service budget, the council also approved the sale of a property at 45 Adelaide for just $1 to Habitat for Humanity. This initiative is set to pave the way for the development of a two-family dwelling, furthering the city’s commitment to affordable housing.

The council's discussions also touched on procedural matters, including the need for a supermajority vote for certain expenditures, ensuring that all legal requirements are met as they move forward with these projects.

With these decisions, the council is not only addressing immediate infrastructure needs but also fostering community development, setting a positive tone for future initiatives.
