GOV. MALLOY & REP. GROGINS ANNOUNCE FUNDING FOR UPGRADES TO BROOKLAWN AVENUE IN BRIDGEPORT
(HARTFORD, CT) - Governor Dannel P. Malloy and State Rep. Auden Grogins (D-Bridgeport) today announced that Friday's State Bond Commission agenda includes an item of $250,000 to the City of Bridgeport for the revitalization of Brooklawn Avenue between Villa and North Avenues. The proposed project consists of improvements and repairs to the medians, sidewalks, site improvements and landscaping.
"Making improvements like these are key to the revitalization of our cities," Governor Malloy said. "A reshaping and revitalization of this area will help Bridgeport's economic development and vision for growth. I would specifically like to thank Rep. Grogins for her advocacy of this project."
"These funds will significantly improve the Bridgeport portion of Brooklawn Avenue, an important gateway into our city," said Rep. Grogins. "I'm thrilled to have worked with Governor Malloy to secure this money for landscaping and road improvements along this main thoroughfare in my district. We have seen the results of this type of project just across the line in Fairfield. I look forward to work commencing on this important project to the City of Bridgeport."
The State Bond Commission is scheduled to vote on the item at its June 24 meeting at 10:30 a.m. in Room 1E of the Legislative Office Building in Hartford.
