Groton Awarded Over $140K In Grant Funds For Transportation Project

GROTON, CT — The state is awarding $10.8 million in grants to 17 towns and cities for projects that improve safety, accessibility, and mobility, according to a statement from Gov. Ned Lamont. Groton is included in the grant awards.

The grants are being awarded through the Connecticut Department of Transportation’s Community Connectivity Grant Program.

“This program cuts red tape and accelerates local infrastructure projects that make a real difference in people’s daily lives,” Lamont said in a statement. “Across Connecticut with the support of this state program, communities are building accessible sidewalks, new bicycle connections, and stronger links to jobs, schools, and local businesses.”

Groton will receive $141,791 for the Groton Cross Town Greenway Wayfinding project.

The project is intended to create a signage system along the greenway while providing links to communities to the east and west, according to The Day of New London.
