THANK YOU FOR COMING TO THE ROADWAY SAFETY ROUNTABLE
I wanted to thank you for joining me and fellow state representative Amy Morrin Bello for our Roadway Safety Roundtable at the Wethersfield Public Library on Thursday night. We had a great turnout and discussion about this important issue in our community. I'd also like to thank Department of Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto and Lieutenant Joseph Baich from the Wethersfield Police Department for lending their expertise to our event.
 
ROCKY HILL AND WETHERSFIELD RECEIVE CDBG SMALL CITIES GRANT
The Connecticut Department of Housing is awarding $12.1 million in grants to eight municipalities for upgrades that will modernize and rehabilitate housing for low and moderate-income individuals, as well as community infrastructure.

The grants are being awarded through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Small Cities program, which is administered by the Connecticut Department of Housing with funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Eligible projects are required to be in a municipality with a population of fewer than 50,000 residents.

The other recipients of this round of CDBG Small Cities program grants include Jewett City, Morris Scotland, Vernon, Windham, and Windsor.
