Ansonia to paint town purple to promote Alzheimer's awareness

Info shared from the City of Ansonia Facebook page:

ANSONIA - Main Street received a symbolic purple stripe Saturday as part of making Ansonia an official supporter of the national Alzheimer's Awareness Month in June. 

Downtown will soon be festooned with purple as most merchants have agreed to support this awareness month with their own individual purple symbolisms such as purple drinks, purple desserts, purple flowers, purple decorations and more. 

Throughout downtown, all antique street light poles will soon display large purple ribbons.

More details to be announced shortly including a purple ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 14 at 10:30 a.m. at City Hall.

Meanwhile, additional streetscape line striping improvements continue around town as parking lines were added to Tremont Street (adjacent to Spector Furniture), upper Main Street Municipal Parking Lot 1 (upper Main dining district), Abe Stone Park, and relining of the basketball court there. 

The East Main Street Municipal Parking Lot 3 will get lined on Sunday.

Finally in preparation of Holy Rosary Church’s annual Italian Festival in August, a green stripe was added to last year’s red lines to now officially recognize the Italian heritage and flag.
