The funds will help preserve and protect the environment, and rebuild the town infrastructure.
“A quality transportation system is of the utmost importance for everything from economic growth to the safety of our families,” said State Representative Bill Simanski (R- Granby). “It’s pretty exciting to see this STEAP money come into the district for much needed road and bridge repair.”
“The quality and safety of roads and bridges is critical to any community,” said State Representative John Rigby. “Given the recent and deserved news coverage of the poor quality of many of Connecticut’s bridges, this grant is a welcome benefit for the people of Barkhamsted and residents of this area.”
