NORWALK, Conn. – Mayor Harry Rilling is making good on a campaign promise with the scheduling of his first Mayor’s Night Out in an effort to improve the quality of life for Norwalkers.
The Monday, Dec. 9, event in City Hall is designed to give the public a chance to speak with Common Council members, Norwalk Fire Chief Denis McCarthy, Norwalk Police Chief Thomas Kulhawik, Department of Public Works Director Hal Alvord and, of course, Rilling, who is inviting all of the above.
“The purpose of the meeting is just to allow people to meet us, to introduce ourselves, to hear any concerns that they may have, to discuss issues that are important to them, to allow them to tell us how we can work together to improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods and to improve the quality of life around Norwalk,” Rilling said.
The meeting will be at 7 p.m. Rilling wasn’t sure Tuesday which City Hall room it will be in: the council chambers, community room or Concert Hall.
Rilling said he hopes future Mayor’s Nights Out will be held out in the neighborhoods to encourage the discussion of neighborhood issues.
“The reason I am having the first one at City Hall is it is just an introductory meeting,” he said. “This one is kind of an open-up to the whole city and let’s get to know each other.”
