The Town is preparing for blizzard conditions on Saturday Jan. 29.
If necessary, the Town will open a warming shelter on Sunday and continue it through the week, as needed. Residents will be able to stop by to warm up and charge devices.
- There will be a parking ban starting at 6 pm tonight.
- The Transfer Station will be closed Saturday and open on Monday.
- The Library will be closed on Saturday.
- All Woodbridge Recreation activities are closed on Saturday.
- The Tax Office's special Saturday hours are canceled.
- Amity Regional School District will be closed and all events are canceled.
Please stay off the roads to stay safe and to allow the Public Works crews to do their job. Be patient -- predicted drifting will make plowing more difficult than usual.
If the shelter is opened it will be announced via the Town's enewsletter, Facebook, the Town website and through CTAlert (the State's reverse 911 system that we use for emergency-only communications). Sign up to receive CTAlerts here.
Storm Tips:

- Keep your generator dry.
- Keep your generator outside and 15' away from doors, windows and vents that could bring carbon monoxide inside your home.
