The $500,000 grant will provide funding for sidewalks, parking and bike lane construction.

Of the fourteen towns state-wide receiving Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP) grants from the Connecticut Office of Policy and Management (OPM), Brookfield is one of the few to receive the maximum amount of $500,000. The project will benefit the community through funding streetscape improvements that will make the revitalizing Brookfield Village accessible and sustainable for all residents.

“This is incredible news for Brookfield,” said Rep. Harding. “I look forward to seeing this project finally materialize and bring new business and cultural opportunities to our town. I thank the OPM for providing Brookfield with much-needed support to complete the vital transportation aspect of our plan.”
