Looney and Senator Gary Winfield announced that the State Bond Commission is expected to approve bonding for renovations at the Montessori School on Edgewood to expand pre-school offerings and improvements at the Farnam Neighborhood Center, and renovations at the New Haven Animal Shelter.
“I would like to thank the State Bond Commission and Governor Lamont for approving these projects for New Haven,” said Senator Looney. “This state bonding will help us put more kids in early childhood classrooms, bring much-needed improvements to a community center, and provide an overhaul to our animal shelter that is in need of repair.”
“New Haven’s children, community members, and animal community will all benefit from this round of state support,” said Senator Winfield. “Thanks to Governor Lamont and the State Bond Commission for this infusion of state funding.”

“These community institutions provide important services and supports to New Haven’s children and families, and the state’s investment will help each of them expand their mission and work,” said New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker. “I appreciate the State’s approval of these projects for the Elm City.”
