Waveny LifeCare Network today announced a series of upcoming Community Conversations they are hosting regarding the proposed Life Plan Community being explored on town-owned Parcel E, located west of Lapham Road in New Canaan.
The schedule is intended to provide residents with multiple opportunities to learn about the current proposal, understand what is known and what remains preliminary or under study, ask questions, share perspectives, and participate as the public process moves forward.
“As a New Canaan-based non-profit organization, community participation is a critical part of our design process,” said K. Rone Baldwin, Board Chair of Waveny LifeCare Network. “We want residents to have direct access to current and accurate information, multiple opportunities to ask difficult questions, and a clear understanding of what has and has not yet been proposed.”
