Capital Improvement Plan Approved In Stratford

STRATFORD, CT — (From Stratford Mayor’s Office): The Stratford Town Council recently unanimously approved Mayor Laura R. Hoydick’s proposed Capital Improvement Program for FY 2023 - 2024.

The issuance of bonds allows the Town to begin projects that will be completed in FY 2024, including crucial upgrades and enhancements to existing Town facilities, equipment, services, and departments.

The plan budgets for a number of school repairs and upgrades, increased resiliency efforts and developments for Stratford sewers and roads, renovations of courts and playgrounds, as well as general improvements for all parks, and new public safety equipment.

An amendment passed by the Town Council to the original proposed CIP provides an additional $3 million appropriated for the Shakespeare Park redevelopment in addition to an increased allocation for repairs to various Town parks, amending from $150,000 to $225,000.

“Tremendous thanks to our Town department heads, CAO Chris Tymniak, and all those who provided thoughtful input, putting the Town’s future first, within the development of the 2024 CIP,” Hoydick said. “Additional thanks to the Town Council’s thorough review and final approval of the plan. This is a necessary blueprint for greater advancements and efficiencies to our Town’s facilities and services, providing crucial and beneficial updates across every facet of the Town that will prove fruitful both short-term and down the road. I hope Stratford residents are encouraged and excited as we look toward the future of our Town.”
