MIDDLETOWN INCLUDED IN BROWNFIELDS GRANT
Building To
Get New Life
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has announced $7.9 million
in grants for brownfield remediation. State
Rep. Matthew L. Lesser (D-Middletown) says the grant includes $825,000 for Middletown. The money will be used for abatement and
remediation of an abandoned mill at 27
Stack Street.
The building will then be converted into affordable housing.
“This
funding helps Middletown
recover an historic property,” said Rep. Lesser. “When the remediation is complete, the
building on Stack Street
will provide quality housing for the city.
It also increases property values in the neighborhood and adds to the
city’s grand list. I want to thank the
Governor for his efforts in getting this done.”
The
grant, from the Department of Economic and Community Development, is being
spread across 14 cities and towns and will redevelop 187 acres.
$825,000 to renovate a mill into multiple apartments. $2,000,000.00 to create a plan for Rt.9 downtown.

Seems like an awful lot of money just to come up with a plan, to me. But then, the bus way to no where cost over 560 million for nine miles of road.
