Almost 2 years after a flood disaster destroyed parts of Oxford, it was great to join local and state leaders to support resilience planning that will help better prepare our area for future storms. CT DEEP today announced details of its Climate Resilience Fund here in Oxford. It will provide investments in our infrastructure & improve emergency preparedness so we can protect lives and our property.
Thank you to everyone who continues working to make Oxford and the surrounding area stronger and more resilient.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, and father figures out there!
I’m very grateful for my dad—who is now an amazing grandfather to my sons, Paul (pictured here) and Matthew!
Wishing everyone a great Fathers Day!
🇺🇸🇺🇸Promoting pride in country, respect for the flag and appreciation of our freedoms are part of the fundamental backbone of our liberty. Across generations, brave Americans have sacrificed, served, and stood united to protect the freedoms we hold dear.
The Town of Watertown in conjunction with the National Exchange Club, planted a Field of Flags as a powerful tribute to our Nation’s flag and the enduring values it represents. By planting flags in honor of our heroes and history, we create a living message: that freedom is never free, and remembrance is a duty we all share.
A total of 26 historic flags are on display from the original Grand union flag through our current 50 state flag. A truly moving exhibit to our 250 years of American history.
