Boys And Girls Club of Milford Receives $1 Million For Renovations

MILFORD, CT — Recently approved federal funding of $1 million will go toward renovating the Boys and Girls Club of Milford's Clubhouse.

The funding is part of more than $16 million secured in Community Project Funding for 14 projects in the state's Third Congressional District.

“I am proud to have secured needed dollars to fund several projects in our community,” U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-3) said in a statement. “When I was Chair of the House Appropriations Committee, I fought to bring back community project funding. I strongly believe Members of Congress know their communities best, and I am pleased that they can once again hear from the people they represent and direct spending to local projects that help their states thrive. These investments grow our economy and make a real difference in the lives of so many. I am proud to have fought for funding that will make our community healthier, safer, and stronger.”

Megan Altomare, Chief Executive Officer of Boys and Girls Club of Milford, said in a statement that she was "grateful for Congresswoman DeLauro's support of the youth in Milford. Her commitment to funding our project will have a lasting positive imprint on the lives of thousands of youth for many years. Thank you to Congresswoman DeLauro for always being a champion for our kids."
