A message from Seymour first selectman

"Christmas is a time to reflect on all that is good in our lives, some things big and others small. It is a time for family and friends, for good cheer and happiness. It is a time we wish joy to all. 

"But, unfortunately, this spirit only seems to last a few days. Please join me in working to keep this wonderful holiday spirit all year long. Together, let's make 2015 the best year yet. Tara, Drew, Kaitlyn and I would like to wish you all a joyous holiday season. From our family to yours, may you have a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year."

- Kurt Miller

A message from Ansonia mayor

Happy Holidays to all! 

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.
