Shared from the Office of the First Selectman of Seymour Facebook page:

Text from this evening's Code Red:
This is the First Selectwoman Annmarie Drugonis with a winter storm update utilizing the Code Red system.
Current forecasts show Seymour is likely to be impacted by the incoming winter storm. We are likely to see significant snowfall and strong winds. Garbage collection will be postponed one day this week in anticipation of the storm. The transfer station, public library, and community center will be closed Monday. Town Hall may close as well, depending on storm conditions. As it is the last day of January tax collections, we recommend paying online or by phone if you have not already done so. Details on how to do so can be found on the Tax Collector’s webpage. We recommending checking the Town’s Facebook and website or calling ahead if you are planning on coming in person. We will update the Facebook page and website with additional information where necessary.
Thank you and stay safe.
