The South Windsor Initiative for Thoughtful Growth strives to preserve South Windsor’s natural landscapes, protecting wildlife habitats, and promoting responsible development that balances progress with conservation. We believe growth is necessary for a thriving community, but it must be managed thoughtfully to ensure the town maintains its pastoral character, green spaces, and quality of life for generations to come.
We are committed to keeping South Windsor residents informed of proposed development projects in town and the effects they will have on the environment and quality of life. We intend to work with town leaders, residents, and developers to shape a sustainable future.
Balance – We support growth that meets community needs while safeguarding natural resources.
Conservation – We prioritize preserving South Windsor’s forests, wetlands, and wildlife habitats.
Community – We believe in protecting the pastoral and small-town character of South Windsor.
Responsibility – We seek to ensure development is environmentally responsible and socially thoughtful.
Action – We are committed to working with town leaders, residents, and developers to shape a sustainable future.
A new 32 acre, 69 unit age restricted (55+) housing development is planned in town center. The development will require clearing a mature forest and filling and/or disturbing thousands of square feet of wetlands to accommodate construction of a new bridge over an existing stream. A wetlands permit application is currently pending with the Inland Wetlands Agency/Conservation Commission and a public hearing was continued until September 3, 2025.
