Communications

Overview

The Communications Department of Cheshire County supports the flow of information between county government, residents, and local municipalities. The department prepares clear and timely updates, including press releases on county initiatives, programs, and events, to help the public stay informed about the work taking place across county departments.

A significant part of the department’s work involves managing routine communications with citizens and town officials. This includes responding to inquiries, distributing operational notices, and helping ensure that accurate information is shared consistently with Cheshire County’s 23 municipalities. Whether sharing service updates or clarifying county procedures, the goal is simply to make information accessible and easy to understand.

The department also prepares and distributes meeting agendas, notices, and minutes for the Cheshire County Board of Commissioners and the Cheshire County Delegation. The department helps support transparency and ensures that residents and officials have reliable access to the formal actions of county government.

In addition to these responsibilities, the Communications Department assists with routine website updates, internal communications, and general outreach tasks across departments. These efforts help keep county information organized, up to date, and available to the people who need it.
