The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is awarding $11.7 million in grants to 17 towns and cities across Connecticut under the state-funded Community Connectivity Grant Program.
Now in its fifth round of awards, the program is an infrastructure improvement initiative that provides funding for local projects that improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users in urban, suburban and rural communities.
“These projects help connect people to their communities, promote economic development, create more vibrant town centers and encourage environmentally friendly transportation options,” said Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont. “Supporting this program with state dollars is improving the quality of life for towns and cities throughout the state.”
“Increasing safety and improving connectivity are top priorities for the Connecticut Department of Transportation,” said CTDOT Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto said. “Through the Community Connectivity Grant Program, we are helping make our village, town and city centers safer and more accessible. Thank you to Gov. Lamont and the State Bond Commission for ensuring these funds are available to assist towns and cities with important projects.”
The full list of grants approved in the fifth round of awards can be found on CTDOT's website.
