Providing new affordable housing in Darien, real estate development projects in town and providing more electricity in the state and First Selectman Jon Zagrodzky recently met with Gov. Ned Lamont for an hour at Roots Ocean Prime, a new restaurant in town. The Greenwich Democrat and Darien Republican spoke for about an hour on Monday, May 5, Zagrodzky said in his regular biweekly column in the latest Town of Darien Newsletter (sent out by email on Friday). Zagrodzky discussed how Darien officials in recent years have worked to encourage more affordable housing, with 200-plus units built or renovated in the past 15 years and 40 more, not yet built but approved by town land use boards. He also pointed out that Darien is 98 percent developed, making it more difficult to build. “The governor seemed to appreciate our results,” Zagrodzky added.
