🚨⚠️🛣️ Update from CT DOT on local roadwork that begins this Sunday (August 10)
Good news for our area’s flood recovery!
Today the Bond Commission approved funding for two vital flood recovery projects:
📚: $350k for Southbury Public Library renovation and repairs.
🏞️: $782,685 to dredge and remove debris from the Little River.
I was proud to work with our local delegation, town leaders, and the entire legislature to champion this effort to restore our community from last years catastrophic flooding!
Thank you to the Governor and Bond Commission for these key investments.
