NEW LONDON DELEGATION CHEERS COMMUNITY INVESTMENT FUND APPROVAL OF $7.236 MILLION TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY CENTER

Today, the New London legislative delegation including State Senator Martha Marx (D-New London), State Representative Christine Conley (D-Groton) and State Representative Anthony Nolan (D-New London) welcomed the Connecticut Community Investment Fund 2030 Board’s approval of $7.236 million in funding supporting the final costs of the Community and Recreation Center in New London.

Specifically, the allotment of $7,236,237 will be used to provide the final construction costs of New London’s new Community and Recreation Center, which will offer recreation activities and rooms for educational and community use. It will also house the City’s recreation and youth affairs departments.

“It’s wonderful to hear that the Community Investment Fund is supporting this important project, which is going to benefit the entire New London community,” said Sen. Marx. “A new and improved home for recreational and youth affairs needs is going to allow many more residents access to helpful resources. I’m grateful to Governor Lamont, Senator Looney, Rep. Ritter and the Community Investment Fund for their support of our community.”

“I am grateful to say that this funding will get the job done! With over $7 million allocated through the Community Investment Fund, construction for the Community and Recreation Center will be completed,” Rep. Conley said. “The New London community will finally get the state-of-the-art facility it deserves, providing activities, resources and support to residents.”
