The impact notices received by property owners in Marlborough, CT on 11/03/2020 contained two errors. The first sentence of the letter incorrectly named the town as ‘Montville’ instead of Marlborough, and the Board of Assessment Appeals deadlines are listed as ‘2020’ instead of 2021. Please be informed of these corrections. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Effective immediately, Town Hall Offices are accessible by appointment only.  Unlike a grocery store, we do not have greeter staff to monitor customers entering and exiting, to turn away those not wearing a mask, to monitor 6’ social distancing and hand hygiene. I want to reassure the public that we continue to provide essential services by appointment. The Tax Collector is accessible by an outside window. Citizens with business at departments other than the Tax Collector should call ahead and leave a voicemail if no one is available at the time of the call.

Once cleared to enter the building:

• Masks are required the entire time you are inside the building.
• You must use hand sanitizer (wall mounted dispensers available throughout the building).
• Sign in on the sheet near Town Clerk's Office for contact tracing.
• Exit through the rear door of the building.

The program will provide small businesses and nonprofits that have a 2019 annualized payroll of less than $1.5 million or 20 or fewer employees with a one-time grant of $5,000. All funding will be disbursed by the end of December and will not require repayment.

The grant can be used for rent, payroll, utilities, inventory or complying with the CT Reopen Business Sector Rules. Full details including eligibility requirements, a schedule for virtual office hours, FAQs, other resources, and the application can be found at

https://portal.ct.gov/DECD/Content/Coronavirus-Business-Recovery/CT-CARES-Small-Business-Grant-Program

The $50 million program, funded from Connecticut’s portion of the federal CARES Act, will provide aid to small businesses and nonprofits that continue to be negatively impacted by COVID-19.

The grant application will only be available for a limited time. It is anticipated that the application period will close by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 19, however that is highly dependent on demand. All interested small businesses and nonprofits are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

13 Year old boy in Santa Rosa, CA shot to death.
14 year old boy in Tempe, AZ shot to death.
57 Year old man in Suffield, CT shot to death.

What do they have in common? They were shot after brandishing AIR SOFT guns to police.

These are not toys. They are very realistic copies of modern firearms, except they shoot plastic BBs by compressed CO2 cartridges.
This image is an AIRSOFT 1911 model that was used by juveniles at Blish Park last week, at the playscape. The youths were pointing it at each other's heads and other body parts. The other gun in the image is a 1911 .45 caliber pistol, and very deadly. The only difference is the small red/orange nub on the barrel. Same size, same weight and same finish.
Needless to say, several parents at the playscape with their children had an issue with this behavior, even after the youths said it was an "air gun".

Although AIRSOFT can be an activity that can be enjoyed by parent and their children, on their property, or property they have permission to shoot on, parents should not allow their children to take AIRSOFT guns out unsupervised. This is how tragedies occur.

In a split second, police officers need to make a decision to use deadly force based on circumstances presented to them. Often times, particularly at distance, the red/orange nub required on the barrels of these guns can not be seen or identified. Please let's not add any more numbers to this type of tragedy.

Picture below is from the AIRSOFT 1911.
