Proposed Bill No. 109 authorizes the State Bond Commission to issue bonds totaling up to five million dollars. The proceeds from these bonds will be allocated to the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to provide grants aimed at rehabilitating and upgrading utilities, specifically sewer and water lines, as well as related equipment like pump stations. This initiative focuses on connecting Norwich Public Works through the former Norwich State Hospital property and extending to the Preston Incinerator site, which is located in the towns of Norwich and Preston.
The bill emphasizes the importance of improving infrastructure in these areas to enhance public services. The proposed funding is intended to address the necessary upgrades to ensure that the utilities are efficient and reliable, thereby supporting the local community's needs. The legal language inserted into the current law highlights the specific purpose of the funding, while no deletions from existing law are noted in the text provided.
