Join the Partnership for Strong Communities (The Partnership) for a deep dive into their inaugural annual report.

The Partnership will release its inaugural State of Housing in Connecticut report on January 16, 2026, offering a comprehensive look at the challenges and opportunities shaping affordability, creation, choice, and stability across the state.

This iForum will introduce key findings from the report and open space for collective analysis. Following a brief overview, attendees will participate in a facilitated data walk led by the report authors and partner organizations. Together, participants will examine trends, surface insights, and discuss implications for local and statewide policy. The session aims to equip stakeholders with clear, actionable knowledge and renewed energy to advance housing solutions in 2026 and beyond.

Light breakfast will be served.
 

The US National Geodetic Survey (NGS) will re-design the national State Plane Coordinate System with the release of our new national reference frame, the North American Terrestrial Reference Frame 2022 (NATRF 2022).

In this year's WestportREADS selection, All the Water In the World by Eiren Caffall, much of Manhattan is under water due to melting glaciers. Before real life follows fiction, there are ways we can reduce the chances of warming trends. Expanding on this concept is Executive Director of CIRCA (the Connecticut Institute for Resilience and Climate Adaptation) James O'Donnell, who will be at the library to share facts about the effects of climate change on the water levels of the Connecticut shoreline and Long Island Sound.
