    Summary

    TOWN OF DARIEN, CONNECTICUT (Pop 21,571)

    Invites Candidates To apply for the

    TOWN ADMINISTRATOR POSITION

    Located on the southwestern coast of Connecticut, along Long Island Sound, Darien is part of affluent Fairfield County. There are two train stations in Darien, serviced by Metro North Railroad, for commuting to cities to the north and south of town. To the south, neighboring Stamford, a large CT community with many business headquarters, and New York City are easily accessible. To the north, Bridgeport and New Haven are frequent destinations. Amtrak is also accessible through the train stations in Stamford, Bridgeport and New Haven. 

    While Darien is one of the most expensive places to live, it has one of the lowest mill rates in the state. Darien residents enjoy two public beaches, a number of parks, and a newly acquired 63-acre property known as Great Island. The Town offers a first-class public school system. Due to a lack of available undeveloped property, recent efforts have included redevelopment of old commercial properties into mixed-use locations with retail, restaurants, personal services on the first floor, and condos or apartments on upper floors. This will have the effect of increasing the population of this beautiful town.
