Halfway House Under Way

A groundbreaking was held at Westport’s Longshore Golf Course today for a new Halfway House to replace one destroyed by fire in 2003. Westport First Selectman Gordon Joseloff led the dignitaries in the ceremony in which he singled out many community volunteers who led the successful fund-raising effort of more than $200,000. Construction of the 750-square foot farmhouse-style structure is expected to take two to three months with the opening anticipated for June. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
