Good Evening Residents of the Great City of Ansonia!
Once again, this is Mayor David Cassetti calling to wish you and your family the best during this difficult time. And to remind you: there IS a light at the end of the tunnel!
The City is working closely with local authorities and state agencies to determine when it safe to start reopening our city. And next week I will be naming members of REOPENING COMMITTEE to make sure our changes are done with public safety first in mind! The Committee will consist of key city staff.
But until then- PLEASE continue to exercise patience. Your adherence to social distancing policies is SAVING LIVES and now is not the time to let your guard down. Please remember to wear protective masks in public and exercise caution when you leave the house.
Now some news. I am pleased to announce that applications for Ansonia’s TAX DEFERRAL PROGRAM are now available online at cityofansonia.com and on our Facebook page. This program will allow eligible taxpayers to defer payment of property taxes for up to 90 days.
And speaking of tax relief, I have released my recommendation for the next year’s City Budget. My recommended budget calls for a ZERO TAX INCREASE while supporting vital city services. Now is not the time to pass on extra costs to struggling households and businesses. The City’s Board of Taxation and Board of Aldermen will now proceed to review and finalize the budget.
Now, I know the last month hasn’t been the best time for a Birthdays. Especially for kids! Well, the City of Ansonia- in partnership with WALMART- wants to help. If a child 10 YEARS OR YOUNGER has a Birthday in March, April or May, PLEASE email his or her name and birthday to me dcassetti@ansoniact.org. That’s dcassetti@ansoniact.org.
Finally, I invite the community to join us at the Ansonia High School Parking Lot, 26 Pulaski Hwy, to observe the NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER! It’s happening this Thursday, May 7th, from 5:30-7:00 pm, with music prelude beginning at 5:00 pm. Just Drive-In - stay in the comfort of your vehicle, & Tune-In to the 87.9 FM radio station to hear and participate in this live presentation!
Thank you all for STAYING STRONG and please know my thoughts are with you and your families. Have a wonderful weekend!
