ANSONIA - Mayor David S. Cassetti today announced another round of professional graffiti removal throughout the city. This is the fourth consecutive year of the initiative.

| On N. State Street |
This latest removal focuses on the last annoying nuisance graffiti found on utility poles, street signs, and isolated markings remaining on public and private buildings.
“With this latest offensive, the city will be nearly graffiti extinct,” said Cassetti.
Approximately 35 tags have been identified and will be removed starting in April by Trans-Clean of Stratford.
Once again, funding for this year’s cleaning is made possible by local business donations to the Mayor’s Beautification Fund.
Nearly a half-mile of graffiti was removed from the flood control wall, and more than 350 tags cleaned from public and private property in 2017 and 2018.
As they say in Montreal, a clean city is a happy city.
