Warren Connecticut

Welcome to the new version of the WarrenCT.com website. This new format contains much of the information from the previous version, but it is arranged to make it easier for people to find it. This new version is designed around software that is less likely to be the victim of hacker attacks.

There are some distinct differences, however. The site no longer allows people to post at will. Anyone may comment on an already posted article. To get something new onto the website requires sending an email to one of the moderators, who will place the information on the website. We have several people performing moderator functions so this process should work smoothly. And we do not have a community calendar, at least not yet, but events will be listed as announcements.

The site now provides pages for town organizations. General information that is static, such as hours at the library, members of boards and commissions and regulations such as planning and zoning, will be posted and you will have access to them for reading or printing.

This site is very flexible and rapidly evolving. We hope to be posting more rules and regulations and more forms for such things as dog licenses and beach permits as we proceed to develop the site.

When you use the site, you will see that announcements are posted in the order received, with the most recent items first. You can view all the postings about a particular topic by clicking on the appropriate line under the heading: News. Or you can view all the information available for a particular town organization by clicking on a topic under the heading: Town Information. You can comment on a posting by clicking on the word “comments” at the end of the posting.

We hope you will enjoy using the site and provide us with information that will help make this site useful to the people of Warren. This site is maintained and managed by a small group of dedicated volunteers at no cost to the town. The Warren Public Library, Inc. hosts the website effort, offers space for meetings and free wireless access to the internet to anyone with a laptop computer with a wireless card.

The volunteers include: Richard Wanderman, whose expertise and access to server space makes the site possible; Martha Winkel, director of the Warren Public Library, who provides the link to the library and the school; Joslyn Pollack, who donates the copying and mailing of the print summary; Sandy Bausch, who has recently joined the group and is helping make the site user-friendly; Jim Richardson who works on the town government portion of the site and gets the regulations on board; and Toni Richardson, who writes articles and compiles the written summary of the site. More volunteers are needed. It would be great to have someone from the Fire Dept., the school, Parks and Rec. and other town organizations step up and agree to moderate their portion of the website.

Anyone with items that they would like to have posted may email them to webmaster@warrenct.com.
