The Town of Ellington has submitted two grant applications to the State of CT. One is for the lighting of the Tennis Courts & the back two Athletic Fields at Ellington High School. The Lights would be used by the Boys & Girls Soccer, Lacrosse and Tennis teams and the Football team. This project would be no cost to the town. The other grant is for an addition to the Town Hall. The addition would add around 1,200 square feet of office space and an additional 360 square feet of vault space. The total cost for the addition would cost $750,000. If the grant is received, voters would have to approve the funding at a town meeting, for an additional $250,000 for the project. The town is unsure where the additional $250,000 would come from, as of yet.
The Town of Ellington has told The State of CT that the town hall Grant has priority over the light Grant.
By signing this petition you are supporting the grant for the LIGHTS over the Town Hall grant.
