 SHELTON - Shelton Democrats are continuing their Community Conversation Series as part of their commitment to educate and engage the community on issues that matter most to residents on a local, state, and national level.

The second Community Conversation will be 'Shelton Development: Smart Growth & Neighborhood Rights.' 
Taking place May 23 at 6:30 p.m. at Shelton Intermediate School auditorium, this conversation will take an important look at the rights of property owners and town residents with regard to land development.  

It will feature a panel of speakers including Tom Harbinson of the Shelton Conservation Commission, Al Tyma of Ryan & Tyma LLP, Steve Studer of Berchem, Moses & Devlin PC. 
It will be moderated by Terry Jones of Jones Family Farms and will feature remarks by Jimmy Tickey, Planning & Zoning Commissioner.
David Gioiello, Chairman of the Shelton Democrats said,  "Members of the public are invited to attend and participate in this free event, and we look forward to continuing our Community Conversation series."

The Shelton Democrats first Community Conversation took place in March and focused on Building a Community of Respect: Why Words Still Matter, which was presented in partnership with the Anti-Defamation League. 
This conversation discussed the rise of hate speech, intolerance, and the role community organizations and citizens play in standing together against hate.
