Oct 19, 2025 Stephen Krauchick

The Stratford Library presents “Halloween Hauntings” - two American tales of ghostly suspense on Tuesday, October 28.

Fairfield Business Owner: “Our Whole Building Was on the Line” After Siting Council Denies UI’s Docket 516R

Oct 18, 2025 Stephen Krauchick

https://youtu.be/q7GSZauIaPI FAIRFIELD — With the Connecticut Siting Council’s denial of United Illuminating’s Docket 516R, Fairfield business owner Stephen Boccarossa says a weight has been lifted from his staff and customers—at least for now. Boccarossa, who owns Boccarossa Insurance, said the company’s headquarters sat squarely in the project’s crosshairs. “Standing right here, the transmission line would have gone directly over the top of our building,” he said. “If an access road were added later, they could take the building. That’s how close this came.” Beyond the physical route, Boccarossa said the risks extended into legal and financial territory that could threaten a small business’s survival. After consulting with colleagues, he said he learned of cases where property owners beneath high-voltage lines…
