The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1179, aims to establish the Connecticut Community Makerspace Initiative program. This initiative is designed to support entrepreneurship within the state by enhancing access to industrial-grade tools, resources, and training offered by Connecticut's nonprofit community. The bill mandates the Department of Economic and Community Development to oversee the establishment of this program and includes provisions for allocating funds necessary for its operation.

The primary goal of the Connecticut Community Makerspace Initiative program is to foster innovation and economic opportunity in the state. By promoting entrepreneurship and providing essential resources, the program seeks to empower individuals and communities to engage in creative and productive endeavors, ultimately contributing to the state's economic growth.
