Mayor’s Corner
Dear Montville families and residents:
As we prepare for Autumn and the return to school, I encourage all of you to
keep informed about the diverse array of our programs, services, and events
by reading the Montville Community Booklet; a publication created especially
for Montville’s residents! Please make sure to have a hurricane emergency kit
prepared in the event of any tropical storms that may head our way. A very
good resource is hurricanesafety.org. You can also head to our website at
TownofMontville.org where we will soon have a list of options for residents to
sign up for automatic notifications of interest.
If you have not done so, I urge everyone to consider getting vaccinated for
the COVID-19 virus so that we can continue to try to normalize our lives.
Sincerely,
Ron McDaniel
Ronald K. McDaniel
Mayor, Town of Montville

The Montville Democratic Town Committee is proud of all of the hard work we have put in
to ensuring our Town is, and continues to be, the best that it can be.
The Montville Town Council, under Democratic majority control, has been able to lower
taxes for our residents two years in a row. We continue to work for the betterment of all
Town residents.
Through these efforts, we have been able to keep the Town of Montville financially stable
while improving the areas needed and always moving forward.
The Montville Democrats continue to support our Senior Citizens, Veterans, children, and
all of the residents of our community!
We have worked hard for you and have had excellent progress over
the years and in very difficult times.
We vow to continue our efforts for the residents of our great Town of
Montville and always put Montville first.
