This Week in Woodbridge

It’s an active moment in Woodbridge — and residents are paying attention. From crowded meetings and events, to thoughtful letters, it’s clear that people care deeply about community and where the town is headed. That civic energy has been on full display as the town came together on Friday evening to celebrate Halloween and now prepares to head into Election Day tomorrow — see articles linked below for details.

And don’t forget, this evening the Town Plan & Zoning Commission meets at 6:30 PM to review the draft 2025 Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD) at The Woodbridge Center café (4 Meetinghouse Lane). Visit the Town website to learn more, including how you can make your own voice heard by sending comments.
