Welcome to Redding, Connecticut.

Redding is a unique community, nestled in the heart of Fairfield county. Our residents are united in the preservation of the wonderful quality of life we enjoy.

We strongly support our public school system with high expectations for achievement, and the resources to meet them. We treasure our country landscape, 36% of which is permanently preserved as open space.

Redding boasts 60+ miles of hiking trails, two State Parks, and the Town’s Topstone Park, offering residents a place to swim and canoe. Even the dogs have a beach at Topstone Park!

The Mark Twain Library is the hub of cultural activity in the Town.  The Mark Twain Library Annual Book Fair takes place over the labor day weekend and draws treasure hunters from afar.

Our Community Center provides a wealth of programming for all residents through the Parks and Recreation Department and the Heritage Senior Center.

We are reminded each day that the vision for Redding’s future must include her past, and are actively engaged in the preservation of our historic structures.  We recognize that a community’s greatest asset is its residents, and we encourage participation in town activities and governance at all levels.

If you have comments on the site, or suggestions to improve communications with the public, please click here to send me your thoughts. We value our residents’ contributions to making Redding a very special place to call home.

Call me with any questions or suggestions at 203-938-2002.
