After the governor signed into a law a bill allowing Sunday alcohol sales, a number of Naugatuck package stores said they will open their doors for business today.
Connecticut residents can now buy alcohol on Sundays — starting today. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed into law Thursday a bill amending Connecticut’s Blue Laws, giving permittees the option of selling liquor and beer from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. The law went into effect immediately. Permittees are now also allowed to sell alcohol on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day, and on Mondays following a Christmas or New Year's Day holiday that falls on a Sunday. State Rep.

Price and services push committee members to recommend a Waterbury company over a borough company.
With a $200,000 price difference on the table, a borough committee in charge of finding an ambulance company for the upcoming fiscal year voted to give the job to newcomer Campion Ambulance over the current company, Naugatuck Ambulance. Waterbury-based Campion submitted a bid for the job asking for $96,000 annually, which is significantly lower than the $296,000 bid put forward by Naugatuck Ambulance Inc. “It’s not only the price, but when you look at the size of the fleet, the dispatch, the technology,” said Deputy Mayor Tamath Rossi, the committee chairman. “The fact that Campion has had a presence in the community… that was a big factor as well.” Rossi released a statement Thursday morning on the selection. Read it in full here. The …

Naugatuck officials still hope for downtown revitalization.
