The brochure was published by the City of Norwalk in cooperation with the Senior Umbrella, The Norwalk Senior Center, and the Mayor’s Energy and Environment Task Force.

“Please take a look at this brochure, which is designed to highlight programs that address some of the expenses seniors face,” Rilling said in a statement. “I want to call your attention to the new senior tax relief guidelines passed by the Council last fall, in particular. They increase the income range by $5,000 so that more people will be eligible – and they raise the benefit by 10 percent.

"The impact on taxpayers is minimal. There is a great deal of other information here, and I hope it will be helpful to you and your loved ones.”
