Today, State Senator Norm Needleman (D-Essex) was encouraged as the State Bond Commission approved a grant supporting Colchester public space.
The Bond Commission approved $500,000 for site work on Norton Park in Colchester, which will help finalize public space near the Air Line Trail.
“These projects will support our local communities in beneficial ways,” said Sen. Needleman. “Additional public space in Colchester will support local recreation and conservation alike, keeping natural land preserved indefinitely. I’m grateful to Governor Lamont and the State Bond Commission for their support of outdoor preservation and the arts.”
“The Air Line Trail provides an incredible outdoor recreational opportunity, and preserving this parcel in Colchester that is adjacent to the trail further enhances the beautiful natural resources in the area,” said Governor Ned Lamont.
