There is currently a Planning & Zoning Commission- Alternate vacancy. If interested, please send a letter of interest by mail to Planning & Zoning Department, Voluntown Town Hall, PO Box 96, Voluntown, CT 06384, or by email to schoquette@Voluntown.gov before February 9, 2022.

It has come to our attention that residents believe that the teal/blue N95 masks that we have been distributing are part of a recall. They are not. The National Guard went through the stock of the state’s N95 masks before they were distributed to municipalities. They pulled all of the masks that were affected by the recall. It is not just the lot # on the mask that is part of the recall, but there is a number on the box too. If the number on the box did not match the box # on the recall list, then the masks are not part of the recall. Please see the document here that describes the recalled masks for more information.  This document also states that the masks that are affected by the recall, still work. 

We still have N95 masks at Town Hall available for residents. They are in a box by the front door.

If you are a business in town and would like some for employees, we have boxes of 20 available in the Selectmen’s office.

THE FORGE HILL BRIDGE IS NOW OPEN AS A ONE LANE BRIDGE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TRAFFIC PATTERN HAS BEEN CHANGED AT THE WYLIE SCHOOL RD/FORGE HILL RD/ NORTH SHORE ROAD INTERSECTION. IT IS NO LONGER A 2 WAY STOP, BUT IS NOW A THREE WAY STOP SO DRIVERS CAN PREPARE SAFELY FOR THE ONE LANE BRIDGE. PLEASE PROCEED ACCORDINGLY.

At the 1/11/22 Board of Selectmen meeting, the Selectmen approved a revised Town of Voluntown Snow and Ice Control Policy. The Policy can be viewed here and found on the Public Works website page for future reference.
