Senator Maroney Welcomes State Funding to West Haven and Orange

Today, state Senator James Maroney (D-Milford) is welcoming over $200 thousand in funding approved by the State Bond Commission for projects in West Haven and Orange. Funds will be allocated to provide a grant to the Orange Volunteer Fire Department for new equipment. Funds will also be allocated to West Haven for improvements to the April Street Boat Ramp.

“This approved funding is critical for our district and I am thankful to Governor Lamont and the State Bond Commission for approving this funding,” said Sen. Maroney. “The new equipment for the Orange Fire Department is vital. It provides life-saving protection allowing firefighters to perform their duties where they are exposed to smoke, fire, gases, and more. The upgrades to the April Street Boat Ramp will not only enhance our waterfront access, but also ensure a safer, more enjoyable experience for residents and visitors alike.”

The state bond commission has approved $50,000 for the Orange Volunteer Fire Department to acquire a new self-contained breathing apparatus.

The state bond commission has also approved $152,900 to provide improvement to the Small Harbor, specifically the April Street Boat Ramp.
