Ansonia to open Armory for walking

By Register Staff

ANSONIA >> The Ansonia Armory will open its doors to residents for walking and exercise starting Monday, Jan. 6, 2014, Mayor David S. Cassetti said.
"During the winter months it is very difficult for our residents to find a safe, warm place to walk and exercise," he said.


"The Armory provides a location that many residents are familiar with and a comfortable environment with good space for walking,” Cassetti said.

"The Armory at 5 State St. will be open from 7-9 a.m. starting Jan. 6, and will remain open until further notice,” he said.

“I encourage all residents to take advantage of this opportunity. It’s a great way to get the blood flowing and shake off the cold weather with a nice indoor walk.”
