Senator Maroney Celebrates $1.8 Million Being Allocated to West Haven

Today, state Senator James Maroney (D-Milford) welcomed a vote by the Community Investment Fund (CIF) that will bring $1.8 million to West Haven.

The CIF vote is a key step toward final approval of the plan by the State Bond Commission, which must come in the next 60 days.

The CIF is giving $1.8 million to the City of West Haven. The City of West Haven proposes to revitalize the neighborhood surrounding the Veteran Affairs Medical Center. Upgrades will be transit-oriented and include traffic calming, pedestrian safety and accessibility, and paving several roads/sidewalks in disrepair.

“This investment will not only improve the safety and accessibility of our streets but also enhance the quality of life for our residents, especially those who have served our country,” said Sen. Maroney. “By focusing on these upgrades and much needed repairs, we are ensuring that West Haven continues to be a community where all can thrive. I am grateful West Haven is receiving this funding for these crucial improvements.”

The CIF fosters economic development in historically underserved communities across the state.
