SENATOR MAHER WELCOMES $192,100 IN STATE GRANTS FOR WESTON PUBLIC LIBRARY

Today, State Senator Ceci Maher (D-Wilton) welcomed the State Bond Commission’s vote to provide a $192,100 grant to the Weston Public Library. These funds will be used for the library’s project to improve accessibility and emergency preparedness while supporting enhancements to its energy conservation capabilities.

“The Weston Public Library offers a vital resource to the community, allowing for education, entertainment and great local events bringing so many of us together,” said Sen. Maher. “To know more people will have easier access to its collection, it will become more resilient against potential weather disasters and it will see operating costs fall while saving more energy? That’s amazing for Weston. I’m grateful to the Bond Commission and Governor Lamont for their support of our region.”

As part of the Bond Commission’s August 1 activities, it administered the grant through the state library, which offers construction grants to public library construction projects worth up to half the cost of the project.
