About this site
NancyOnNorwalk.com was conceived as the place to go for Norwalk residents to get the real, unvarnished story about what is going on in and around their city. NancyOnNorwalk does not intend to be a traditional print newspaper online; rather, we exist to pull the curtain back and shine a nonpartisan spotlight on how Norwalk is run and what is happening regarding which issues and decisions have the deepest impact on taxpayers’ lives, pocketbooks and safety. As an independent, nonprofit site news service NancyOnNorwalk’s first and only allegiance is to the reader.
