State Senator Jorge Cabrera (D-Hamden) announced today that the State Bond Commission is poised to approve $3.5 million for projects in Naugatuck and Ansonia when it meets in Hartford next week.

Projects expected to be approved include:

-$3 million for the Naugatuck YMCA to renovate the vacant St. Frances Parochial School into a childcare facility, and

-$500,000 for improvements to the Ansonia Animal Shelter.

“The State of Connecticut continues to invest millions of dollars in our cities and towns to improve the lives of our residents and to help keep local tax rates low,” Sen. Cabrera said. “I want to thank Governor Lamont and Bond Commission members for their thoughtfulness toward the needs of the people of Naugatuck and Ansonia.”

The State Bond Commission is scheduled to meet in Hartford at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, October 22.
