November 3rd–The following are highlights from today’s CT DPH report versus Monday’s November 1st report.

  • Under age 20:   4%

Two more states were added to the travel advisory. 

Thank you all for your patience and cooperation during today's election.  Many town employees, including the Registrars and staff, the Town Clerk and staff, DPW staff and school custodians, worked hard to ensure that today’s election and absentee ballot voting was efficient and safe.
