Groton — Thrive 55+ Active Living Center members are calling for a beloved food service employee to become the facility's permanent kitchen supervisor. Members collected 100 signatures on a petition calling on the town to give Lynnsie Manza another interview, after she was sick from a chemotherapy treatment on the day of her in-person interview and instead had a Zoom interview. Manza said Friday that she was given the second interview, but is not being considered for the job.

Groton — Parking fines are slated to soon double as the town seeks to curb parking issues, particularly in downtown Mystic. The Town Council, which has been discussing the issue over several months, unanimously voted Tuesday to raise parking fines from $25 to $50 and violations for parking in fire lanes from $50 to $100. The fines will double if paid late.

Groton — The town's 2024 net grand list of taxable properties grew slightly, by 0.2%, or $7.7 million, to $4.7 billion. Motor vehicle assessments, the category with the largest decrease, dropped by 11%, to $263.1 million. Assessor Mary Gardner said this is because the state passed legislation to value cars with a new formula using Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price multiplied by a depreciation factor. Real estate grew by 0.4%, to $4.1 billion.
