Senator MD Rahman Applauds CIF Vote to Fund Planning for The CCGC Landing in Manchester

Senator MD Rahman, D-Manchester, today celebrated a vote by the Community Investment Fund (CIF) Board to recommend $250,000 in state funding for the Community Child Guidance Clinic in Manchester to support planning for The CCGC Landing, a proposed community center envisioned as a hub for recreation, wellness, learning, and community gathering.

The grant will fund the planning process for the future facility. The CIF vote represents a key step in the process of securing final approval of the funding by the State Bond Commission, which must meet within the next 60 days to take up the board’s recommendations.

“The Community Child Guidance Clinic has served children and families in our community for almost 70 years, and The CCGC Landing will build on that work by giving residents a place to come together and thrive,” Senator Rahman said. “I believe our state has an obligation to invest in planning for community resources like this. I thank the CIF Board for this vote, and I am excited to see the State Bond Commission finalize the funding.”

The Community Investment Fund was established by the Connecticut General Assembly to direct state investment toward historically underserved communities. CIF grants are recommended by a board of directors and must receive final approval from the State Bond Commission.
