U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy is scheduled to hold a "Valley Town Hall" 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 12 at Derby Middle School. Doors open at 1:30 p.m.

A subcommittee of the Board of Aldermen said Derby can't afford to repair the former VARCA building on Coon Hollow Road. The meeting's audio is posted in the last 11 minutes of the broadcast.

The full Board of Aldermen voted Thursday to grant a tax break for the company that converted a nursing home on Marshall Lane into a dormitory for international students.
