Cassetti updates community on new turf at Nolan Field, game change

Mayor David S. Cassetti provides the following update about Ansonia Charger football:

"Our new turf facility at Nolan Field is almost
complete, and we know how much excitement there is to see our teams take the field. While construction is moving along, the facility is not quite ready for this week’s home opener. To ensure the safety of our athletes and to deliver the best possible facility for our community, this week’s game will be played at Seymour High School on Thursday night at 6:00
p.m." 

Please support our Chargers at Seymour High School!
"Charger fans – I promise you the wait will be worth it — we are proud to announce that the grand opening of the new turf facility at Nolan Field will be celebrated on October 3 when Ansonia hosts Torrington at 7:00. This will be a special night for our athletes, students, and the entire community, and we look forward to sharing it with you.
Thank you for your patience and continued support as we put the finishing touches on a first-class facility that will serve Ansonia for years to come."
THANK YOU – AND AS ALWAYS, GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND GO CHARGERS!

Seymour to distribute limited number of COVID test kits Tuesday

This is the text of Seymour First Selectwoman Annmarie Drugonis' COVID testing kit update today via Code Red:

"This morning we received a smaller than anticipated allotment of COVID testing kits from the State.

Given the extremely limited number of testing kits available, we are asking that only those currently experiencing symptoms come to the distribution event.

That drive-through event will be held tomorrow, Tuesday, Jan. 4 from 5-7 p.m. at Seymour High School. Proof of residency, such as a driver’s license or addressed piece of mail, will be required to receive a test. Each vehicle will be given one box with two tests inside.

There is an even more limited supply of testing kits will be reserved for the medically vulnerable. If you are medically vulnerable, please reach out to my office at (203) 888-2511, extension 2.

There will not be enough testing kits for everyone. Both the event tomorrow and the testing kits reserved for the medically vulnerable will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis. We understand that it is very difficult to find a test at the moment. We ask that you look out for your neighbors and consider those who are at elevated risk.

We appreciate your continue patience, understanding and partnership."
