The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5233, seeks to authorize the issuance of state bonds to fund improvements to water and sewer infrastructure in the north end of Manchester. Specifically, the bill empowers the State Bond Commission to issue bonds not exceeding a total of five million dollars. The proceeds from these bonds will be allocated to the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, which will provide a grant-in-aid to the town of Manchester for the designated infrastructure improvements.
The bill aims to enhance the water and sewer systems in Manchester, addressing critical infrastructure needs in the area. This initiative reflects the state's commitment to supporting local municipalities in upgrading essential services, thereby improving public health and environmental standards. The legal language inserted into the current law includes provisions for the bond issuance and the specific allocation of funds for the project, while no deletions from existing law are noted in the text provided.
