West Hartford FIRST is a group of West Hartford residents who think that West Hartford is a great town and we want to keep it great!
Our name, West Hartford FIRST, stands for “West Hartford for Investing Responsibly in a Strong Town.” We are a voice in support of responsible investment in our town and the services you receive as a resident. These services include our schools, police and fire departments, public works, libraries, and community centers.
We believe that all West Hartford residents should have a resource that helps them understand the town budget and the services it supports so we provide factual information on West Hartford services and where our tax dollars and additional funds are spent.
West Hartford FIRST advocates for investing responsibly in our town. In the 2008 budget referendums, we encouraged residents to vote for the budget. Since this was a political position we were advocating, we filed as a Political Action Committee (PAC). However, our group is not made up of professional lobbyists — we are a group of West Hartford residents who care about our town.
