Tri-Town Plaza in Seymour.
SEYMOUR – Officials are asking a court to force the parties that own Tri-Town Plaza to cough up almost $74,000 owed to the town, according to a court filing.
On Aug. 21, Seymour Town Attorney Richard J. Buturla filed paperwork that advances a complicated legal dispute, part of which involves the town and the shopping center.
The Tri-Town Plaza land at 814 Derby Ave. is owned by Goodyear Property Management, LLC, along with Mark and Ellen Shaw, the trustees of the William H. Shaw Connecticut Realty Trust.
OXFORD/SEYMOUR — The following information is from the Office of the First Selectwoman in Seymour:
Beacon Falls/Oxford/Seymour

The Valley Community Foundation is based in Derby on Elizabeth Street.
The following statement was sent to The Valley Indy by The Valley Community Foundation:
The recent devastating floods that hit our Valley on August 18th, 2024, will long be remembered not just for the destruction it caused but for the incredible acts of heroism and volunteerism that emerged from the chaos. Our hearts are heavy with condolences as we mourn the loss of two Valley residents, Ethelyn Joiner and Audrey Rostkowski. We also stand in solidarity with the countless families whose properties were destroyed and cherished belongings washed away. Yet, amid this tragedy, we witnessed extraordinary acts of bravery and selflessness, reminding us of the unique character of our community — what we at the Valley Community Foundation (VCF) now call “Valleyness.”

The washout just downstream from Kinneytown Dam in Seymour on Aug. 22.
SEYMOUR – Officials from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) said they do not have an estimate for when train service will be restored to the Valley, following the Aug. 18 floods that caused mudslides in Seymour and knocked out the ground beneath sections of train tracks.
MTA Metro-North Railroad President Catherine Rinaldi and ConnDOT Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto visited one of the washout sites on Thursday (Aug. 22), just downstream from the Kinneytown Dam, and told reporters that budget and timeline estimates would be coming in the next several weeks.
“Once we’re actually out here starting the work I think we’ll have a much better sense as to how long it’s going to take to complete it,” Rinaldi said.

This photo from the Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments shows boats clearing debris from Lake Zoar.
DERBY – Members of the Lake Housatonic Authority are worried that the plan to send debris from Sunday’s historic floods over the Stevenson Dam and down the Housatonic River could damage properties, clog Lake Housatonic with junk and impact the Long Island Sound.
They are also questioning whether the plan by FirstLight violates an official “debris management plan” on file with regulatory agencies. FirstLight is the company that owns the Stevenson Dam.
The authority has asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to intervene.
