New London Awarded $1.2 Million for Remediation Project
Governor Lamont's administration is awarding $17.9 million in state grants to clean-up and remediate properties in towns and cities across Connecticut.
The grants are from the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development’s Brownfield Remediation Program. They are expected to leverage $427 million in private funding and will help in the investigation and clean-up of approximately 78 acres of land.
I am excited to share with you that New London will receive nearly $1.2 million to assess and remediate 24 parcels located on Walbach Street and Goshen Street, a portion of which was occupied by the former Naval Undersea Warfare Center. The City is planning to utilize the site to construct a community recreation center next to the historic Fort Trumbull State Park.
