Good day Plymouth – Coming back on line after spending the last couple months focused on organization, staff and operations. In the biography of Steve Jobs, Jobs reflected on the work of his father. His quote regarding his father’s work was this, “He loved doing things right. He even cared about the look of the parts you couldn’t see.” And so, it also goes for the operations of our Town. We can see the investment the town has made in the roads through the bond package, state grants and commitment to capital spending via the budget process. What is not seen is the effort and coordination needed by staff and management to ensure things are done as ‘right’ as possible. A big thank you to all the Town staff, Public Works and our vendors for the great work done this summer. We will keep working as long as weather permits.

I am happy to report all our open positions in highway, land use and building departments are filled. As a team we have met to discuss some of the ‘visual’ issues that we have to address aggressively. These include; economic development, completing the down town plan, working with the State to expedite the Route 6 / South Main / Agney Ave project, managing zoning and wetlands and enforcement of our blight ordinance. Stewardship of our town’s lands, resources and commercial properties is a major concern. Folks in the Mayor’s advisory group have provided feedback and recommendations with respect to building a stronger sense of community in Plymouth. Taking pride in our town is fundamental for Plymouth’s future. I look forward to working with every citizen and business owner, to improving all of Plymouth, whether you can see it, or not.

Planning and acquiring funding for long term improvements is another activity that is not really seen. However, I am happy to share initial conversations with our State and Federal representatives were well received and follow up meetings are planned. Large scale projects like downtown revitalization, community complexes, sewer plant upgrades and recovery of Lake Windfield cost millions. Plymouth cannot afford to go it alone. We’ll continue to lobby for assistance.

Finally, congratulations to the Lions Club and everyone who helped make this year’s Terryville Fair spectacular. When football starts, we know summer is officially over and our efforts will start to shift indoors to completion of the financial audits, planning for the winter ahead and starting the budget process in October. The website upgrades will be launched this week, so please take a look and give us your feedback. A key goal is to make it easier for residents and businesses to get the services and support they need. More to come. - Mayor Ski

Good day Town of Plymouth, happy June! Sharing some important announcements and updates. First up, the regular Town Council meeting has been rescheduled to June 16th. Even Town Council members need time with family and friends so we needed to move the date. We currently do not have a July meeting scheduled as has been the practice over the years. A meeting will be called should there be a need.

We would like to invite everyone to consider joining a board or commission as this is critical for the town to do its business. There is a great deal of activity with respect to zoning and wetlands that require a couple meetings a month, capital improvements will help determine the long-range plans for larger expenditures or you can consider some of the other boards. A full list of all boards and commissions is on the town web site. Please contact the Mayor’s office and we’ll be happy to provide more details on the boards and associated area of responsibility.

Some announcements: Plymouth will be hosting the Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz and Veterans Affairs Commissioner Ron Welch to honor our Vietnam veterans on June 8th. See the flyer attached to this post. A meeting is scheduled with the CT DOT on June 10th to review the construction plan for downtown. Information on dates, closures and detours should be available and will be shared on the town’s web site. Our town crew with be starting the roadway chip seal program funded by the bonding program, details are in the memo in this post.

I would like to thank all the Memorial Day Parade committee, our Master of Ceremonies Keith Golnik, all the volunteers, marchers and of course all our citizens for coming out to the event. We got our wish as the skies cleared just in time for the parade. - Mayor Ski

Happy Memorial Day Plymouth. Big shout out to the DOT and Schultz Corporation for collaborating with the Town and veterans committee to ensure the new monument was installed and the area of Baldwin Park was ready for Monday’s ceremony. The parade steps off from the Harwinton Ave firehouse at 10:30 am. Let’s all put out the positive energy for no rain! It should be a great event and will include the dedication of the new monument.

Let’s talk about roads… On Thursday May 20 the town completed the transfer of three million dollars from the bond sale into the town’s account. Public works has completed the planning, review of our vendor contracts and begun preliminary site work. We all know there is a LOT of work to do, not only general maintenance and repairs from winter damage, but also large sections of roads that need different levels of restoration. A multiyear plan has been developed and will be reviewed with the public works board this week. Public works team has also met with Connecticut Water Company to coordinate their ongoing water line maintenance program with the Town’s road repair schedule. We will leverage CT Water’s funding for final repaving paid directly to the Town in lieu of them having their vendors repaving. We believe the Town can ‘stretch’ the dollars and get more paving done with this funding source. Once the full, multi-year plan is reviewed this week, it will be posted on the Town web site. As always, the potential exists where priorities need to change. Watch for updates on the Mayor’s page or on the town website.

Lastly, some updates on the two major projects involving the state. There will be a meeting in June with DOT and we expect an updated plan for the Route 6 intersection, Agney Ave, North Main and street scape construction. This will include sections scheduled to be completed and dates/details of detours that will be needed. The “Tory Crossing” (Mathews St, East Church, Judd Rd) project plan is in the State application phase. A meeting was held with our engineers to ensure all aspects of the application are fulfilled and we are expecting approval from the state in a few months. This project will be nearly fully funded by the State at an estimated cost of 3.5 million dollars. We know this project has been long awaited. All efforts are being made to get preliminary work started in the fall. That may be a stretch, but we are still hopeful.
Long post today so thanks for reading.
Enjoy the holiday. – Mayor Ski

Another BIG week in Plymouth! Thank you to our Board of Education, Board of Finance and Town Staff for all their effort to prepare the budget for fiscal year 2027. The Town Council made some final modifications and adopted the budget on Tuesday, April 21. The final budget can be viewed on the Town’s web site.

Congratulations to Nash in the Ville, which successfully opened on Friday night. It is no small task to launch a new business. The Town will continue to work with the Nash in the Ville management team to ensure any and all concerns of residents are addressed. We all want to be proud of this new business and wish them success. Anything new takes some time to reach perfection.

Other news – the transfer station is ready for the annual bulk disposal amnesty program. Please remember ‘demolition material’ is not part of this program and you must have a resident dump permit in order to drop your items. Transfer station staff will be checking and or issuing dump permits. Please have proof of residency if you do not have a permit.

Lastly – thank you to the Terryville Little League who invited me to throw out the first pitch at the opening ceremony. It was an emotional morning, as I fondly remember playing and coaching on the Ed Janser field some years ago! You know summer is on the way when you hear, “Play Ball” - Mayor Ski

Good day Town of Plymouth – Sharing some updates and important information for the week ahead.

This Tuesday 4/21 the public hearing for the 26/27 Town budget will be held at 6:00 PM in the Community Room at Town Hall. Immediately following the public hearing, the “Tri-Board” meeting will be held. This meeting will include the Board of Education, the Board of Finance and the Town Council. The Town Council will consider input from citizens and the Boards and is responsible to ‘set’ the final budget. The Board of Finance ‘sets’ the final mil rate. The Board of Finance amended the budget initially submitted by the Mayor and that proposal is what is available on the Town’s Web site -https://www.plymouthct.gov/media/Comptroller/town-of-plymouth---mayors-draft-6-fy-26-2027-budget-mayors-copy-2.pdf

The Mathew St., Judd and East Church roads reconfiguration project, known as “Torry Crossing” cleared an important milestone on Friday. The project was formally approved by the Naugatuck Valley Counsil of Governments (NCCOG). The funding request now goes to through the State’s LOCIP program for review. We remain on target to get this project started by the end of this summer. We’ll continue to push this project forward as rapidly as possible.

Other financial information; the financial audit for 2025 is in progress and scheduled to be complete by end of June. We are working with our audit firm, the State Office of Policy and Management and our Board of Education business manager to ensure we stay on plan. Finally, work is ongoing with the Town’s financial advisors and bond council to complete the bond sale in May. This 3-million-dollar sale will immediately be put toward the road and bridge projects presented to the town last year. We are keeping busy!!

Good day Plymouth – Happy Easter. Glad to be back on-line after a busy month. Let’s get to it. First, I want to give credit to the folks who put a lot of effort into the April fools sign up on the former Mayfair Garage property, you got me! I called our Economic Development consultant first thing to make sure the Town had not made a land deal without Town Council approval. During the conversation I realized it was in fact, April First.

The harsh winter has caused a lot of issues, and that’s no joke. After many, many years of service and multiple rebuilds, the compactor at the transfer station has been retired. The extreme cold caused aged metal to break beyond repair. Our public works team has done a great job keeping things moving as we develop a long-term plan. There are several options being considered and depending on cost, a decision will be made to replace the compactor or re-engineer the facility. In the meantime, we are open for business and preparing for the annual ‘bulk amnesty’ week. The date may need to be pushed out, look for more information soon on the town webpage.

Regarding the town webpage: our IT vendor and town staff are in full swing with the site redesign. Our goal is to provide a more ‘customer friendly’ interface. This will allow residents to navigate to specific town department information, experience cleaner search capability, and have more online services. I hope to have a launch date announcement at the next Town Council meeting.

Some other news; the public works team is working on the plan for road repair both short and long-term. When complete a list of planned work will be shared with residents. The finance team is working on finalizing the 2027 budget and the 2025 audit. They are also preparing to issue three million dollars of bonds; half of the amount approved at referendum. Based on the work planned, available town and vendor resources, only so much can be done in the next few months. There is no need to extend the towns debt if the funds are not needed. Another three-million-dollar package can be issued later in the year if it makes sense to do so.

Lastly, we have met with representatives from our 5th district Congresswomen’s, Jahana Hayes’ office, seeking federal funding to address our facility needs. We also plan to meet with members of the state bonding council. I will be bringing a recommendation to the Town Council in May to replace the former Building Committee with a Facility and Planning Committee. Their charge will be to evaluate any and all options to deal with the aging and inadequate buildings.

Spring has sprung, the days are getting longer as we tilt toward the sun. It’s a new season and this administration intends to get things done. Enjoy family and friends this weekend.
