A number of new laws that are effective on October 1st were passed during the 2023 legislative session that address several issue areas to improve our great state.

I am happy to announce that the State of Connecticut's Community Investment Fund 2030 (CIF) has approved a $22.5 million grant application to fund the demolition and abatement of the decommissioned PSEG Harbor Station coal plant in Bridgeport.

Connecticut is about to take a transformative step toward making prescription drugs more affordable for everyone.

The Office of the State Comptroller is now accepting applications for the Hartford Flood Compensation Program. It is a $5 million pilot program that will provide reimbursement to eligible property owners in the City of Hartford who experienced flood damage on or after January 1, 2021.

We successfully passed a number of measures, which will enhance and support our skilled workforce and make our state more attractive for companies and new businesses.

We have made significant strides in supporting higher education and ensuring a brighter future with opportunities, support, and financial relief for our students.

I truly appreciate the partnership between the community and M&T Bank! I'm thrilled about the significant commitment they have made to our East Side neighbors. The impact of these financial education programs will undoubtedly be felt in throughout our community.

It’s that time again when we start winding down the summer and begin back-to-school preparations; I want to share news and events that will ease that transition for the upcoming school year.
