A summary of the roundtable discussions at the September 4 Town Planning Workshop is now available by clicking here. Find out what topics rose to the top in terms of priority for the future. Follow the discussion on new development in Downtown and Noroton Heights. If you weren’t able to take part in the discussion that evening, but would like to share your responses to the summary, reach out through the Contact Us page.

You can also find the summary on the new Work Products page, which we created to share with you in one place the interim deliverables we’ve prepared since the beginning of this project. Take a look! It includes a summary of all of the meetings we’ve had with boards, committees, commissions, and organizations.

It was a busy night for professional sports, but the tables were full at the Mather Center during last Thursday’s Town Planning Workshop. Thank you to the more than 40 residents who participated in the workshop. For those who couldn’t attend but would like to watch a recording of it on DarienTV’s website, click here.

Stay tuned for a summary of the workshop and its outcomes. We will also be creating a page on this website that will contain links to all of the documents and deliverables produced. This includes the workshop materials (i.e., agenda, exhibit boards, presentation) and other products such as the Town-Wide Survey Results.

As always, if you have any questions, comments, or ideas, please reach us through the Contact Us page.

How is it September already? Darien residents, businessowners, and other members of the community are cordially invited to participate in a workshop for the Town’s 2026 Plan of Conservation & Development (POCD) from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 4, 2025 at the Mather Center at 2 Renshaw Road. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. The primary purpose of this workshop is for participants to identify and discuss goals and priorities for the Town’s next POCD, using the 2016 POCD and the recent Town-Wide Survey Results as a foundation. The workshop will feature informative exhibits, small group conversations, and opportunities to talk with the POCD consultants and Planning & Zoning Department staff. Light refreshments will be available. No RSVP needed (but thanks to those who did).
