Norwalk Delegation Secures $6.2 Million in State Funding for Flood Relief, Historic Preservation, and Road Maintenance
The City of Norwalk is set to receive over $6.2 million in grants-in-aid following approval by the State Bond Commission. This funding, advocated for by Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff and Norwalk's Democratic state legislative delegation, is earmarked for three key areas. Approximately $4.7 million will be directed towards flood mitigation efforts in the New Canaan Avenue and Ponus Avenue area, aiming to address chronic flooding issues. An additional $300,000 is allocated for the restoration of the historic West Norwalk Meeting House, covering foundation work, HVAC improvements, exterior repairs, and the installation of a handicap-accessible ramp. Finally, $1,234,725 in Town Aid Road funding will support local road maintenance and improvements, with the city having discretion over specific projects.
