Ansonia mayor to give State of the City Address


ANSONIA - Mayor David S. Cassetti this week announced his fourth annual State of the City address will be held Nov. 1 at the new Farrel-Pomini world headquarters, located atop Fountain Lake (1 Farrel Boulevard).

The event will start at 7 p.m.

The State of the City Address is held in connection with Ansonia Charter Section 8(9), which obligates the mayor to provide an annual report “showing the situation, state, and condition of the city in relation to its government, finances, and improvements.”

As in past years, the address will feature updates on city finances, economic development projects, and other municipal initiatives spearheaded by Cassetti.

“I could not think of a more fitting location to hold this year’s State of the City Address,” he said.
“The Farrel-Pomini Corporation represents Ansonia’s past and future; a testament to our rich history as a manufacturing powerhouse and bright future as a technological innovator in a global marketplace.”

Three years ago the City of Ansonia secured more than $2 million in federal and state grants to build an access road to the top of the Fountain Lake Industrial Park, paving the way for the Farrel-Pomini Corporation’s relocation from downtown Ansonia to a new state-of-the-art facility, and also opening up the park for future tenants.

Visitors to this year’s State of the City Address will be traveling the very same access road on their way to the event.

“Ansonia’s historic spirit of innovation is alive and well, from the high-tech Farrel-Pomini Corporation on Fountain Lake, down to City Hall on Main Street,” Cassetti said.
“I look forward to updating residents on our efforts to recharge and revitalize this great City of Ansonia.”
