Senator Moore Welcomes State Bonding For Projects In Bridgeport And Monroe

Today, state Senator Marilyn Moore (D-Bridgeport), Chair of the Bonding Committee, is welcoming funding approved by the State Bond Commission for projects in Bridgeport and Monroe. Funds will be allocated to Crescent Crossings in Bridgeport, the Judicial Branch in Bridgeport, and Wolfe Park in Monroe.

"Our communities deserve the best and when facilities and different areas of our state are upgraded, overall morale is improved," said Sen. Moore. "Ellsworth Park Field and Wolfe Park are staples in the community allowing for families to engage in quality time. And with inflation of pricing, many residents need more affordable options for a place to live. I'm thrilled Crescent Crossings will be able to provide an affordable option for our neighbors."

Under the Bonding Agenda, for projects in Bridgeport, $4 million is set to provide funding to Crescent Crossings to finance the creation of 85 units, 62 restricted as affordable. $1,850,000 is set to finance technology and telecommunications improvements to Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) at several judicial branches in the state, including Bridgeport JD and GA2. And, $200,000 is set to provide field reconstruction at Ellsworth Park Field.

Under the Bonding Agenda, $150,000 is set to provide upgrades to the athletic facility at Wolfe Park in Monroe.
