New Canaan Leaders' New Year's Resolutions For 2024

NEW CANAAN, CT — As 2023 comes to a close and New Canaan gets ready to ring in the new year, many residents will likely find themselves making a list of resolutions for when the clock strikes midnight on Jan. 1.

In light of this, Patch reached out to various leaders throughout town and asked what their new year's resolution was for New Canaan, or their department, in 2024. Here is what they had to say:

Selectman Amy Murphy Carroll

"Beyond open, inclusive and responsible government, I would like to see a continued emphasize and prioritization of energy efficiency and addressing the environmental challenges facing the town. Let’s work towards reducing our carbon foot print, and in the process enhance the town with more trees. Let's expand our pollinator pathways and encourage the town and residents to embrace more sustainable, and quieter yard and land management."

New Canaan Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Laura Budd

"The chamber would like to see more our downtown business community continue to grow in. New Canaan had many great new businesses open up here in 2023 and we hope the momentum will continue into 2024!"

*Patch has reached out to other local leaders and will add any additional responses. If any local leaders would like to submit a resolution for New Canaan, please email rj.scofield@patch.com.
