The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1181, seeks to authorize the issuance of state bonds for the establishment of a skilled trades center at the June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation in Ashford. The State Bond Commission would be empowered to issue bonds totaling up to one million five hundred thousand dollars, with the proceeds allocated to the Department of Economic and Community Development. This funding will be used to provide a grant-in-aid to the town of Ashford specifically for the development of the skilled trades center.

The bill aims to enhance vocational training opportunities in the region by establishing a facility dedicated to skilled trades. The initiative reflects a commitment to supporting economic development and workforce training in Connecticut, aligning with broader goals of improving job readiness and skills in the community. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text of the bill.
