The Norwalk YMCA has been an indispensable foundation in our community that has served to enhance lives, young and old alike, with a rich selection of programs and activities that divert attention away from detrimental sedentary social media. The Gallaher Mansion is a gem in our community that also serves many functions including options to enjoy the great outdoors. This latest round of funding is the result of a delegation that effectively works together on behalf of Norwalk and I thank Governor Ned Lamont for including these items on the agenda.

The State Bond Commission approved:

• $5 million for a renovation project at Gallaher Mansion. Renovations will include drainage upgrades, façade repairs, replacement flooring, upgrades to electrical and plumbing, and the construction of a storage building.
• $1.2 million to the Norwalk YMCA for the renovations to its facility’s facade, landscaping, and outdoor common areas.
