The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 159, seeks to authorize the issuance of state bonds not exceeding one million dollars for the purpose of extending the Sprague Streetscape Project in the town of Sprague. The funds generated from these bonds will be allocated to the Department of Economic and Community Development, which will provide a grant-in-aid to the town. The project aims to enhance community infrastructure by upgrading all three municipal playgrounds, installing ten new streetlights that match the existing standards on Main Street in the village of Baltic, and adding flashing lights for both schools, along with an informational electronic bulletin board.
This bill empowers the State Bond Commission to issue the bonds in accordance with section 3-20 of the general statutes, thereby facilitating the necessary funding for these improvements. The overall goal is to enhance the safety and aesthetic appeal of the town's public spaces, ultimately benefiting the local community.
