Welcome to Norfolk, Connecticut

The town has received approval from both the DEEP and the Army Corps of Engineers to build a temporary bridge at Smith Road and Route 272 in South Norfolk.

Voters swiftly approved five housekeeping items on the agenda for the annual town meeting Monday night, but things turned contentious when a $40,635 allocation toward the restoration of City Meadow and a move to make the Town Clerk’s job an appointed position made their way to the floor.

The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the Manor House application for modification of an existing site plan and special permit Tuesday night with a vote of 4-2.

Road issues again captured the attention of the Board of Selectmen Wednesday when resident Bart Wenrich questioned the board about progress on building a temporary bridge on Smith Road. 

Townspeople will not decide Monday whether to build a new firehouse. First Selectman Matt Riiska said Wednesday that a special town meeting will be needed on May 22.

Transfer station stickers will increase by $10 in the coming fiscal year, the selectmen decided Wednesday.

A contingent of firefighters attended Wednesday’s Board of Selectmen’s meeting to ask for restoration of $6,600 that was cut from its 2025-26 budget request.

The Planning & Zoning Commission has reached a decision on the Manor House Application #24-027. Read more.
