GREENWICH GREAT!
FIRST SELECTMAN FRED CAMILLO
​As I begin my fourth term in office as the First Selectman of Greenwich, I am excited to continue working with our public safety officials to cement our position as the safest town in Connecticut.
I also look forward to getting some long awaited projects finished , and other others started. With a new BET, I hope to forge a terrific working partnership that includes the continued pursuit of public- private partnerships, as well as grants to help give taxpayers a break while getting these projects completed.
As always, I’ll hit the ground running on December 1, and again want to express my gratitude to the people of Greenwich for their confidence in me, and support of our efforts.
Greenwich never rests on its laurels, nor will it be satisfied with its current high rankings in all of the important categories.
As the late, great Vince Lombardi once said , one should always shoot for perfection. You may not attain it, but along the way, you will catch excellence.
That has been, and will continue to be, the Greenwich Way.

​
Greenwich is largely reputed to be the crown jewel of Connecticut’s storied Gold Coast corridor and with good reason.
This legendary Manhattan suburb, situated at the New York border, is home to approximately 60,000-plus residents and a place with all of the characteristics synonymous with that of a highly desirable U.S. city suburb.
Aside from being in close proximity to Manhattan (just 30 miles away) and some other major U.S. cities including Boston, Providence and Hartford, Greenwich is a place with a personality, style and spirit unto itself.
First settled by its founders back in 1640, Greenwich had originally served as a main stopover for some of the country’s founding fathers during the Revolutionary War period. (It has even been said that George Washington had left a cryptic note for some of his Continental Army officers in a large tree located right in front of North Mianus Elementary School in Riverside, one of the town’s nearly dozen neighborhoods, outlining strategic military directives.)
