While the Norwich Bulletin in the past 2 weeks kept spoon feeding the public with fears of being in a food desert, an OASIS has opened just down the road in Montville. The reception was great and people seemed pleased. Customer reactions: so glad we have a local family grocery store in town.
The store looks great!
What an amazing turn out of people today!
It was a great experience...
Customers were excited to get gluten free options at reasonable prices. The mayor of Montville took to the facebook page for Montville community forum with a warm and friendly welcome to the market and owners. Montville is doing it right! Great leadership, warm and inviting welcome.
The store is clean, organized and offers deals like 3 dollars for a gallon of pasta sauce. The prices were clearly marked on the shelves (unlike our trip to Fifis in Greenville) and everything looks amazing!
Welcome BFF to Montville and make this your shopping destination!
We moved to Norwich in Aug 2023 and sat that local election out, this will be our first. Having done my research the most obvious conclusion I have so far is that one candidate for Mayor in 2025 has never done anything to make Norwich more affordable during his time serving on the City Council.
Great information, thanks for sharing. Got me to do a little research. Not a ton of info found so far, but did find this from 2018:
Overcast , with a high of 78 and low of 62 degrees. Overcast for the morning, sunny for the afternoon, clear in the evening, mist overnight.
Moved here a couple years back from Massachusetts, and we really like living in Norwich. One of the first things I did when we moved in, I sent my info in to volunteer for the baseball stadium authority. Obviously I never heard back, Norwich abandoned that group years back and let the stadium go into bad shape.
A couple of points...
Yes, it is true that American Rescue Plan funds may very well have been re-allocated for other uses, but they weren't. The objections opposing their reallocation should have been objected to when the City Council was presenting it.
And had I not been in the hospital at the time I would’ve been glad to object it but that’s what happened. Of course, those reallocation should’ve never happened in the first place if we had an ethical committee.
Thanks Marcia! We are onboard with the boycott.
Also will point out that I found these arguments made here in opposition to the boycott to be very unconvincing.
I agree about Norwich not being ADA friendly, just the sidewalks alone are either not wide enough, have a telephone pole in the middle of the sidewalk or better yet have trees hanging over the sidewalk, tall grass and weeds littering the way for individuals.
Agreed. I was working at the elementary schools in Kelly, teaching coding and games and I made this one a couple years ago.
