Bethany's First Selectman

Message from the First Selectman


WELCOME TO BETHANY!  Known for its rural character.

On behalf of the Town of Bethany I would like to welcome you to our new website.

I am Paula Cofrancesco, First Selectwoman of the Town of Bethany.  I have been a long-time resident for over 40 years, and the Cofrancesco family has deep roots that go back over 65+ years.  My husband and I have raised four children in this beautiful town who went right through the elementary and regional school systems, and we are the grandparents to six wonderful grandchildren.   I am thrilled to live in a town with such history and a sense of community involvement and family friendly neighborhoods.  Residents appreciate the uniqueness, country living and New England charm that Bethany offers.  In 2007 Bethany was named Connecticut's #1 Small Town by Connecticut Magazine.
