Neighborhood Association Meetings Start Soon In Stratford

STRATFORD, CT — Neighborhood Association meetings will begin this week, according to Stratford Mayor David Chess.

“One of my goals is to strengthen our sense of community,” Chess wrote in a newsletter to residents. “In every corner of our nation, people are feeling more isolated than ever and often don’t know their neighbors. We need to change that and build upon the strong community ties across our Town.”
