Senator Anwar Encouraged by State Release of Funds Finance Renovations to East Hartford Veteran's Memorial Clubhouse

Today, State Senator Saud Anwar (D-South Windsor) was encouraged by the State Bond Commission's release of funds to provide a grant-in-air to the town of East Hartford. According to the Bond Commission's latest approval of funding, $400,000 will be used to finance renovations to the Veteran's Memorial Clubhouse.

"I'm grateful to Governor Lamont and the State Bond Commission for supporting this important project," said Sen. Anwar. "Our veterans make sacrifices for us every day and the Clubhouse is one way we can show them our deep respect for their service. It also represents an important piece of town culture, used for decades for important functions and making lasting memories for countless residents. I'm excited for it to remain a town landmark with the help of this funding."

In the State Bond Commission's release today of new funds, the town of East Hartford will receive $400,000 to finance renovations to the Veteran's Memorial Clubhouse. While no specific details on the extent of renovations were made available, the town of East Hartford in 2019 repaired two chimneys in the building, and a five-year capital improvement program report indicated the town would commit $5.13 million in the 2022-23 fiscal year to renovations there including construction, painting and general repairs.
