REP. Altobello Reappointed To Capitol Preservation Commission

Rep. Buddy Altobello (D-Meriden) has been reappointed by Speaker of the House Joe Aresimowicz (D-Berlin/Southington) to serve on the State Commission on Capitol Preservation and Restoration.

“I am pleased to be reappointed and to continue the important work of the Commission,” Rep. Altobello said. “We have contributed much over the last 12 years to ensure a safe, well preserved Capitol building and grounds and I look forward to being a part of the ongoing work.”

“Buddy has always had a keen interest and appreciation of the wonderful history of our Capitol, which has made him an invaluable asset during his tenure on the Commission. His reappointment will help ensure that everyone who visits or tours our Capitol will have a memorable experience and sense of its place in Connecticut’s heritage,” Speaker Aresimowicz said.

The twelve member State Capitol Preservation and Restoration Commission was created to undertake a continuing review and study of the State Capitol building and grounds with a view to developing a master plan for the preservation and restoration. That includes necessary structural changes, the consideration of plans to enhance the interior and exterior of the building, making better use of existing space, and reducing public safety hazards.

Rep. Altobello represents the 82nd Assembly District in Meriden. He is Assistant Deputy Speaker and serves on the Finance Revenue and Bonding, General Law and Transportation Committees.
