Ashford, Hampton, Scotland receive state grant funding
Governor Ned Lamont announced the release of state grant funds to benefit improvements in several municipalities, including four local towns. Through the Small Town Economic Assistance Program, the Office of Policy and Management and the State Bond Commission, towns can apply to receive funding and commit a percentage of local monies to complete projects. 'Our small towns are an important part of what makes Connecticut such a special place to live and work,' Lamont said. 'By partnering with each town, we can help get these infrastructure projects completed so these towns can continue to thrive, remain competitive, attract businesses and improve the quality of life for our residents.' Locally, Ashford was granted $400,000 for repaving at the Public Works Facility, with the town contributing $104,701, and Franklin received $100,000 for engineering and acquiring a generator for an emergency shelter at the Franklin Elementary School, matched by $20,000 from local funds. The Town of Hampton applied for funds for the reconstruction of Windham Road, receiving $500,000 and matching $220,000. Scotland was awarded $248,651 for improvements to the community hall at the Public Safety Complex, with taxpayers contributing $27,628. In all, 46 towns received approximately $30 million dollars in funding.
