RTM Committee Advisory on Connecticut Municipal Development Authority Membership

RTM committees issued advisory recommendations against Westport joining the Connecticut Municipal Development Authority (CMDA), a quasi-public entity established under Connecticut General Statutes 8-169hh through 8-169tt. The petition to consider CMDA membership came from at least 20 Westport electors. The RTM committees' advice against membership reflected concerns about the authority's structure, benefits, and appropriate role for Westport's development needs. The full RTM considered the matter but did not move forward with membership based on committee recommendations.
