I was proud to stand with a second generation homeowner of Heather Lane, my legislative colleagues, and and local officials to announce that an East Norwalk neighborhood in our district is receiving a $5.1 million grant to address flooding.

Residents on Heather Lane have expressed their concern about the recurring flooding that has been a constant threat with every large storm and has lead to significant property damage over the years.

Thanks to the leadership of Sen. Duff, and with gratitude to the CIF Board and the Governor's Office, this funding will enable the residents of the Lockwood/Heather Lane neighborhood to have a greater quality of life once these much-needed storm drain and sewer system upgrades are complete. Reducing the frequent flooding these Norwalkers experience will protect their homes and streets, and these critical investments to rebuild and improve this infrastructure will give great returns for future generations so they can continue to thrive in their neighborhood, especially as rainfall becomes increasingly unpredictable.

They asked phenomenal questions about our state government and what it is like to work in public service. I loved showing them the desk where I get to sit in the House chamber and share my mic with them there. I also attended the Wolfpit Pumpkin Fest last weekend and found a fantastic pumpkin to take home - thank you to the Wolfpit pack!

The Veterans and Military Affairs Committee will host a public hearing on Wednesday, November 8^th from 1pm-4pm in Room 2C. You can also participate remotely and share testimony online. The purpose of this event is to gather feedback from members of the public regarding veterans affairs in preparation for our upcoming legislative session. Please see the flyer below for any additional questions. 

Sincerely,

Dominique Johnson
State Representative
