First Selectman Beth Heller announced that starting at noon on Friday march 13 all Town buildings are closed to the public for the foreseeable future.
Municipal staff will continue to report for work as normal and residents who need to conduct Town business may do so online or via phone. Visit the Town website www.woodbridgect.org for a listing of departments and phone numbers.
Two exceptions: The Board of Assessment Appeals meeting scheduled for this evening, March 13, will go on as scheduled and the Board of Finance meeting on March 19 will go on, but without public comment.
Over the weekend the Town buildings will be deep cleaned.
“We are being proactive and not reactive, and we are taking steps to limit community spread in Woodbridge,” said Heller. “As a community, I ask residents to do their part by diligently washing hands, minimizing travel, and canceling or avoiding large gatherings. While these steps may seem drastic or disruptive to some it is our responsibility to protect our most vulnerable residents. We are all in this together.”
Residents are encouraged to conduct more business online or remotely:
