Windsor Locks Development Lands $12.1M Grant

WINDSOR LOCKS, CT — A 70-unit housing development planned next to the Windsor Locks CTrail Hartford Line station has won $12.1 million in state funding, officials announced.

The grant, issued through the Connecticut Department of Housing with support from Gov. Ned Lamont’s administration, will help advance a transit-oriented development designed to expand housing options near rail service.

State Sen. John A. Kissel, R-Enfield, acknowledged the funding award, calling it a positive investment in the region.

State officials say that transit-oriented projects like this aim to increase housing supply while encouraging development in areas with existing infrastructure.

The Windsor Locks project is expected to take advantage of its proximity to the train station, offering residents direct access to rail service while contributing to ongoing redevelopment efforts in the area.

Officials say the development is part of a broader transit-oriented initiative tied to the relocated Windsor Locks station area, with more phases of development possible.
