Good news for economic redevelopment and affordable housing this week in the 104th District!

In Derby, the Trolley Pointe development under construction on Main Street will receive a $2.625 million loan from Build For CT, a program of the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA). Trolley Pointe is a 105-unit apartment building at the site of the former Lifetouch property downtown, and 21 of the units fall under the state’s affordable designation — meaning households that earn between 60 to 80 percent of the area’s median income.

Thanksgiving is Thursday, and I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for our community, the joy of shared moments and the support that surrounds us.

I am honored and grateful to be re-elected as the State Representative for the 104th District. Your confidence in me is inspiring and I am appreciative of the opportunity to continue representing Ansonia and Derby at the Capitol. Together we have done so much, and there is much more work ahead of us, so I’m ready to get to it. I will take your hopes and challenges to Hartford and promise to be an advocate for everyone in the 104th District.
