Sen. Cabrera Releases Statement Requesting Insurance Regulators Deny Rate Hikes

Today, state Senator Jorge Cabrera (D-Hamden) announced three towns will receive grant funding through the Small Town Economic Assistance Program, which supports small towns for economic development, community conversation and quality-of-life capital projects. A combined $1.4 million will be released to Beacon Falls and Bethany for road improvements and Woodbridge for the renovation of the Woodbridge Center Gym.

“I’m grateful to Governor Lamont for making these approvals for the towns of Beacon Falls, Bethany and Woodbridge,” said Sen. Cabrera. “The towns are also contributing to these important projects which will benefit drivers and pedestrians in Beacon Falls and Bethany, and all those who enjoy using the Woodbridge Center Gym.”

Funding through the STEAP grants will support:

  • Beacon Falls: $500,000 in state funding is approved for a road improvement project at Church Street. This will be matched by $580,000 from the town.
  • Bethany: $404,696 in state funding is approved for road improvements that will ensure access to essential facilities and roads. This will be matched by $101,174 from the town.
