Please see the link below for a neighborhood improvement survey sponsored by the Historic Wooster Square Association (HWSA) which has the potential to receive a $500,000 grant from the State of Connecticut for neighborhood improvements. The details of this grant are not yet confirmed but the HWSA is seeking input about your ideas for how best to use this funding if it is received. Your feedback will help start setting priorities and brainstorming potential projects to improve the neighborhood.
To contribute your thoughts about our neighborhood and its needs, please fill out the following survey by Friday, October 8th. The survey should only take 7-10 minutes to complete.
The Historic Wooster Square Association Board thanks you for your time and support.
Absentee Ballots Available October 1st
Absentee ballots technically become available on Friday, October 1 for the November 2 election. Here is the link to download an application. The City Clerk’s Office said the ballots sometimes arrive in their office a day or two late, but they should be available very soon after October 1.
The Secretary of State’s Office website has helpful information about absentee ballots, including stating that COVID-19 may be used as a valid reason for requesting an absentee ballot for the upcoming election.
You may place absentee ballot applications and absentee ballots in the drop boxes outside of 200 Orange Street. You also can drop them off at the City Clerk’s Office on the second floor of 200 Orange Street or mail them in.
Residential Parking Permits Expire TODAY
Residential parking permits (for folks who live in a residential parking zone) expire on September 30. You can apply for your permit (and three guest passes) on the city website. If you sign up online, your guest passes will be mailed to you. As you may recall, there no longer is a decal for your own vehicle. This link has general information about residential parking permits, including how to apply in person or by mail if you prefer.
Have a safe and fun Fall week-end 🍂🍁🍂🍁
