Today's News Headlines

Welcome to The West Haven Post Newspaper

Major news headlines in West Haven for January 15, 2026, focused on regional legislative planning, public health initiatives for first responders, and high school sports victories. 


Local Government & Policy

  • SCRCOG Legislative Breakfast: Mayor Dorinda Borer hosted regional mayors and state legislators at the University of New Haven on Jan. 15 to establish a unified agenda for the 2026 legislative session. Key priorities discussed included education funding, blight reduction, and payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) programs.
  • Firefighter Cancer Awareness: Mayor Borer joined state officials, including Comptroller Sean Scanlon, at the Allingtown Minor Park Station to spotlight occupational cancer risks. The event highlighted new technology in West Haven, such as specialized heavy-duty washers, designed to remove carcinogens from firefighter gear.
  • Infrastructure Modernization: The city received confirmation of a $9 million grant from the state DOT to replace outdated traffic signals at nine high-traffic intersections, including several along Captain Thomas Boulevard and Elm Street. 

Public Safety & Community

  • Evening Power Outage: A major feeder issue on Thursday night, Jan. 15, caused power outages for over 2,000 residents. All traffic lights from Notre Dame north to the city line were temporarily disabled, leading to over one hundred emergency calls before service was restored.
  • School Budget Proposal: Superintendent Neil Cavallaro presented a proposed $97.9 million budget for the 2026-2027 school year, a 4.7% increase aimed at maintaining current staffing levels despite concerns over flat state grant funding.
