The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing last week on a request to amend zoning regulations to allow development in the north end of town. Town property records show that Miller Napolitano and Wolff have owned the vacant property, listed as 1953 and 2037 Highland Ave., since at least 2005. Tri-Star Development LLC is also listed as a property owner on the application. The parcels are located along Interstate 691 and Route 10. Cheshire attorney Anthony Fazzone, who represented the landowners at the July 8 meeting, did not provide details of the eventual use of the property. See Development, A4
Air disaster shook the town in 1946 By Mitzi Romano
(Tails of the History Hound with Mitzi Romano, for the Cheshire Historical Society, continues this week with a gripping recollection of an air disaster. The tragedy that took place 73 1/2 years ago today left lingering effects.) The date was January 18, 1946. The time, 11:06 a.m. It
was a cold Friday morning when Eastern Air Lines flight 16-B, with an engine and at least one wing afire, crashed off Wolf Hill Road in Cheshire. It was the worst aircraft disaster in Cheshire history (and yes, there has been more than one). The pilot and crew and all 14 passengers were lost. The flight originated in Miami,
FL. Only two passengers on the ill-fated flight, Mrs. See History Hound, A3
This photo of the crash site was donated to The Cheshire Historical Society in 2010 by the late Ev Cassagneres, a Cheshire resident and pilot.
