NORWICH – State Senator Cathy Osten (D-Sprague) today welcomed State Bond Commission approval of $289,490 for dock replacement at the Howard T. Brown Memorial Park at Norwich harbor, and another $45,000 for the Heritage Riverfront Walkway Overlook Enhancement on the banks of the Yantic River.
The state funding will help cover the cost of long-planned repairs to the dock.
“Brown Memorial Park is a real hub of activity in downtown Norwich, whether you’re fishing off the handicap ramp or enjoying the ‘Rock the Docks’ music series in the summer,” Sen. Osten said. “But, like any municipal infrastructure, and especially one in the water, they require a lot of maintenance and occasional replacement. Hopefully these planned upgrades can last another 30 years or so.”
