Author: Rocky Hill Democrats

Rocky Hill civil society, political, and religious groups have worked with the Town of Rocky Hill to support the residents of Concierge apartments who have been evacuated from their homes for safety. Support has come in the form of food and supplies, money, information and physical support. Below are a few examples:

• Rocky Hill Democrats collected food and more than $1,600 in gift cards to donate to the town Food Pantry, as well as mobilzed volunteers to evacuate residents on Thursday and Friday night. Resources came from residents as well as local businesses, including West Side Marketplace and Arch II.
• On Saturday, Vallabhdham Temple provided meals to 47 Concierge tenants and is continuing to provide food aid.
• The Rocky Hill Silent Book Club members donated food supplies.
• St Josephine Bakhita Parish organized a Souper Bowl which gathered food aid and $6,000 in donations.

The above are just a few of the wave of responses which has come from across Rocky Hill.

The Rocky Hill Human Services Department plays a critical role in collecting and delivering support. Residents seeking support should reach out to the Director, Melissa Hicks. The Rocky Hill Democrats have been maintaining a list of resources offered by the community.

On Sunday evening, the Concierge Apartments management team issued an email to tenants with their estimated timeline on when people can return. This post was provided by a resident of the Concierge Apartments.

Dear Residents,

We wanted to provide you with an update on the progress of repairs and our efforts to get everyone back home as soon as possible.

At this time, we anticipate that Buildings D and E will be able to return Tuesday or Wednesday.

For Buildings A, B, and C, we will have a more detailed update by Tuesday, including an anticipated return date.

Please know that we are working tirelessly to complete all necessary repairs safely and as quickly as possible. We understand that some residents have been told they may not be able to return —this information is not correct. All residents will be able to return to their homes as soon as possible after repairs are completed.

We will continue to communicate updates as progress is made.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.
