$2 Million Set To Be Approved For Woodbridge Community Center

WOODBRIDGE, CT — A group of state legislators is seeking $2 million in funding to be used to build a community center. State senators James Maroney (D-Milford) and Jorge Cabrera (D-Hamden), along with Rep. Mary Welander (D-Orange), are supporting state bonding set to be allocated to Woodbridge, which Maroney, Cabrera, and Welander represent.

Once approved, the funding will be used to turn a former firehouse in Woodbridge into a community center. The building has already had basic repairs done, but this funding will help with future renovations.

The bonding is expected to be approved March 31.

"With this funding, a lot can get done," Maroney said in a statement. "Providing a safe community center that will offer a number of programs and activities for residents will become a second home to so many families. It will be a beautiful place that will offer a sense of community where people can meet for social, educational, or recreational activities. A place such as this will have an active role improving the health and wellbeing of people while helping create new friendships and bonds."
