The Fairfield Beach Road Association (FBRA), founded in 1955, was incorporated in 1970 to foster the interests of Fairfield Beach Road residents. The goals of the FBRA as stated in its By-Laws are: to represent and implement the interests and desires of the membership in maintaining and improving Fairfield Beach, Fairfield, Connecticut, and vicinity; to promote cooperation among the owners and renters of property at Fairfield Beach; to represent the common interests of the membership in relation to governmental authorities and generally to provide for the mutual assistance, enjoyment, entertainment and the improvement of all such persons in connection with residing in the Fairfield beach area.
In 1998 The FBRA amended its by-laws to expand the geographic coverage of the association. The new name became the Fairfield Beach Residents Association and the membership now includes residents who live in the area encompassing the Old Post Road, Beach Road and Reef Road extending the length of Fairfield Beach Road. A Letter From The FBRA President Dear Fairfield Beach Neighbor, Welcome to the Fairfield Beach Residents Association (FBRA) web site. The FBRA is committed to maintaining and improving all aspects of the quality of life in the beach area. As you will see on this site, we address numerous issues including beach and creek erosion, litter, traffic and speeding, the activities of town government, disruptive behavior and neighborhood safety.
Your membership dues help pay for our annual litter cleanups, plantings, insurance, newsletter mailings, crime statistics, legal fees and other expenses related to our work on behalf of the neighborhood. FBRA objectives for 2010:
1) Support the court ordered injunction against the Lantern Point Condominium Association. 4) Continue beach and street cleanups and contribute to plantings and other beautification projects.
5) Continue to represent the beach area at Town Meetings. Slow Down in Our Town Car Magnets

2) Pursue noise abatement and greater speeding enforcement.
3) Support increased Police partols in beach area and the enforcement of the Zero Tolerance policy.
6) Pursue initiatives to address severe Beach Erosion along Fairfield's Shoreline.
Unfortunately, our neighborhood continues to face many challenges. Recent membership surveys indicate that residents continue to be concerned about partying, overdevelopment, speeding, and litter. We plan to address these issues and others over the coming year.
I hope you enjoy the site and find it a useful resource. After you take a look, give us your feedback and please join the FBRA or renew your membership. A neighborhood association is only as strong as its membership. The FBRA has proven over many years that it is a recognized voice in our community.

Very truly yours,
Paige Herman, President
