SENATOR MARX WELCOMES STATE GRANT INVESTMENT IN NEW LONDON’S LYMAN ALLYN ART MUSEUM

Today, State Senator Martha Marx (D-New London) welcomed the state’s announced investment of a $498,796 grant to support the Lyman Allyn Art Museum in New London. This grant, administered under the state’s Good to Great Grant Program through the Department of Economic and Community Development and CT Humanities, will support redevelopment of the museum’s outdoor greenspace.

“The Lyman Allyn Art Museum provides incredible educational and informational resources to our community, and I’m excited to see how these funds improve those offerings even more,” said Sen. Marx. “I’m grateful to Governor Lamont, the Department of Economic and Community Development and CT Humanities for their investment in New London.”

Amid the release of $7 million in grants for upgrades and improvements to dozens of cultural and historical sites around the state, the Lyman Allyn Art Museum will receive $498,796 to support the Lyman Allyn Park. This multi-year project will turn the museum’s 12-acre outdoor greenspace into a modern urban art park.
