Mayor Rilling was joined by Congressman Jim Himes, Senator Bob Duff, and members of the Common Council to celebrate the groundbreaking for the Community Recreation Center in South Norwalk. The Community Recreation Center will house a gym with the capacity for tennis, pickleball, and basketball. It will also be home to our Recreation and Parks programs that promote fitness, friendship, and wellbeing for Norwalk residents. This $15.5 Million project is a key part of our 10-year Recreation and Parks Master Plan. The City is grateful to Congressman Jim Himes and Senator Bob Duff for their support, and to the Common Council and Director of Recreation and Parks Robert Stowers for their help bringing this plan to fruition. We cannot wait to welcome people into the Community Recreation Center next year! #CityofNorwalk #NorwalkRecandParks

Today, after 12 years of dedicated service, Mayor Harry Rilling announced that he will not seek reelection in November. Born and raised in Norwalk, Mayor Rilling has dedicated his career to serving the City in various public capacities. He was first elected Mayor in November 2013 after retiring from the Norwalk Police Department, where he served for 41 years, including 17 years as Chief of Police. During his tenure, Mayor Rilling led historic investments in education, infrastructure, and sustainability—transforming Norwalk into a vibrant destination and positioning it as the greenest city in Connecticut. His leadership delivered major school construction projects, expanded affordable housing efforts, and strengthened community resources, earning Norwalk national recognition as one of the best places to live. "It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve as mayor of Norwalk over the past 12 years," said Mayor Rilling. "While this was a very difficult decision for me, after much consideration I have decided that this will be my last term as mayor as I'd like to spend more time with my family. I am unbelievably proud of all that we've accomplished together and want to especially thank the incredible residents of Norwalk for instilling their trust in me over these six terms and working with my team on our shared vision of improving our beloved city."

This Fall, we’ll welcome students to the brand-new South Norwalk School, the community’s first neighborhood school in over 40 years! For decades, South Norwalk students have had to travel across the City to attend school, placing an unfair burden on families. This new school will finally provide a much-deserved community school in the heart of South Norwalk. This is the City’s first school construction project under the new 60 percent state reimbursement rate, which will save taxpayers millions of dollars. Common Council and Board of Education members got a tour of the construction earlier this week. Take a look at the progress! #CityofNorwalk #SouthNorwalkSchool #NorwalkPublicSchools
