Groundbreaking Ceremony for Phase II Renovations at Carver Community Center

Happening tomorrow, Thursday, January 22, Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) will attend a groundbreaking ceremony at the Carver Community Center to mark the start of Phase II renovations to the historic Carver Center. The event will begin with an indoor program featuring remarks from community members and elected officials, followed by an outdoor groundbreaking ceremony and photo opportunity.

In 2024, Senator Duff helped secure $3.5 million in funding for these renovations to help expand the center, make it ADA accessible, and provide security upgrades.

“I am beyond thrilled to announce the Carver Center will be soon starting Phase II of these renovations,” said Senator Duff. “The Carver provides many critical services and educational opportunities for Norwalk children. With these renovations, the center will be able to continue its great work for the next generation of Norwalkers.”
