LIFE

After decades of proposals for a 13-acre parcel in North Glastonbury, it appears a plan to build five, three-to-four-story apartment buildings with a total of 266 units has some staying power as the town plan and zoning commission approved it earlier this month.

The Glastonbury Community Fund at the Greater Hartford Gives Foundation (formerly the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving), is now accepting applications for its 2026 grant cycle. The fund is guided by a volunteer committee of Glastonbury residents who engage in participatory grantmaking to support projects that enhance the quality of life for those who live and work in town.
