How to be heard on the Killingly warehouse

Support it or oppose it, the way to weigh in is the same: show up, watch, or write. This page takes no side — it only tells you when and how.

The next hearings

Monday, November 2, 2026 · 7:00 p.m. (confirm on the posted agenda)
Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission
Continued again from October 5. The commission is expected to decide on residents' request for intervenor status.

Where: Killingly Town Hall, 172 Main Street, Danielson — usually the Town Meeting Room on the second floor.

Watching from home: Hearings are live-streamed on the Town of Killingly government Facebook page.

Writing: Written testimony can be submitted to the town online, and is due by 2:00 p.m. on the day of that commission's meeting.

Agendas, times and meeting rooms can change. Confirm on the town’s site before you go.

Speaking at a hearing

A public hearing sets aside time for residents to speak directly to the commission. Speaking time per person is usually limited, and the commission’s own rules decide how it runs — the town can tell you the current limit and whether you need to sign in.

You do not need to be an expert. Saying who you are, where you live, and what you expect this to do to your street carries real weight in the record.

Writing instead of speaking

Written testimony counts, and it goes in the record the same way. Include:

Your name.
Your street or neighborhood in Killingly.
Whether you support or oppose the application.
The one specific thing you’re worried about or hoping for — truck traffic, wells and drinking water, noise and light, emergency response, jobs, taxes.

Short and specific beats long. One clear paragraph about your own road is more useful than pages of general argument. Send it in time for the 2:00 p.m. deadline on the day of the meeting.

Where to send it

Use the town’s own channels — we don’t collect letters here and we don’t pass anything along.

Both sides belong here

Neighbors who want the jobs and the tax revenue and neighbors who fear the trucks and the water are both part of this record. The commissions hear all of it.
