Back in May, Greenwich Communities director Anthony Johnson proposed to name the roadway through Armstrong Court after board chair Sam Romeo in acknowledgement of his role in renovations at that housing authority property.
The Greenwich community will come together on Saturday, September 6, 2025, from 11:00am to 1:00pm at Armstrong Court to honor Sam Romeo, chair of the housing authority, “Greenwich Communities,” at a special Street Dedication Ceremony.
This event will pay tribute to Mr. Romeo’s decades of commitment to the residents of Greenwich, his advocacy for affordable housing, and his dedication to public service.
Friends, family, colleagues, and community members are invited to attend and share in the celebration of his legacy.
“Sam Romeo’s leadership and heart have left an indelible mark on our community,” said Anthony Johnson, CEO and Executive Director, Greenwich Communities. “Armstrong Court stands as a testament to his vision for accessible and dignified housing for Greenwich residents. Armstrong Court now anchors and contributes to the beauty of this historic neighborhood. It’s fitting that we gather here to honor him.”
The Street Dedication Ceremony will feature remarks from local leaders, a commemorative unveiling, and a reception.
The event is open to the public, and all are welcome to join in remembering and celebrating his life’s work.
