NORWICH, CITY OF

What NORWICH, CITY OF does

The City of Norwich is a municipal government entity serving approximately 40,000+ residents of Norwich, Connecticut, in New London County. It operates under a Mayor–City Council form of government (currently Mayor Swarnjit Singh and City Manager John Salomone) and delivers a full suite of public services including police and fire protection, public works and utilities (water, sewer, streets, solid waste/recycling), planning and zoning, building inspection, tax collection and assessment, recreation and senior services, public education, library services, and affordable-housing administration through departments such as the Norwich Police Department, Norwich Fire Department, Public Works, Otis Library, Norwich Public Schools, Housing Authority, Golf Course Authority, and the Rose City Senior Center. Multiple volunteer fire companies (East Great Plain, Laurel Hill, Occum, Taftville, Yantic) supplement the professional fire department, and the city participates in regional intergovernmental bodies including SCCOG, CMEEC, the Southeastern CT Water Authority, the Regional Transit District, and TVCCA.

The city's technology footprint is anchored on the CivicPlus CivicEngage content management system powering norwichct.gov, which integrates an online services portal, Notify Me email/SMS subscription system, agenda center, GIS property locator, employment opportunities portal, and a Flock Safety transparency portal for the Police Department's Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) deployment (in use since September 2023). Single-sign-on authentication is supported via Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook integrations on the CivicEngage platform, and the city maintains social channels on Facebook and YouTube plus an EnvisionNorwich community site.

The entity does not generate revenue in the commercial sense; operating funding is derived primarily from property taxes collected through the Tax Collector's office, state aid, and departmental fees. The city recently authorized $55,000,000 in general obligation bonds for a new Police Headquarters Facility at 300 Main Street, adopted Ordinance #1888 authorizing automated traffic enforcement safety devices (July 20, 2026), and adopted a tax-abatement ordinance to incentivize rehabilitation of low- and moderate-income housing — signaling an active capital-investment and policy-expansion posture.
