A message from Ansonia mayor

I would like to take this opportunity to say Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
As we celebrate this holiday season, focus on all the accomplishments achieved in 2014 and strive harder for a prosperous new year. Enjoy the time you spend with family and friends, but let us not forget our neighbors these holidays. A holiday season greeting may go a long way for those alone. I believe the holiday season is about giving and sharing PEACE and HAPPINESS.
My family and all of the dedicated City Hall staff wish you joy and happiness throughout the holiday season and New Year.
2014 was a great year for Ansonia and I am predicting an even brighter future in 2015. We witnessed a milestone last week when a portion of the buildings were demolished at the former Ansonia Copper and Brass site.

We said good bye to a part of our history, but we are also welcoming a bright new future with economic growth into Ansonia.
Join with me to help make Ansonia a better place to work and live.
