State To Release $750K For New London, Montville Projects

NEW LONDON, CT — The state Community Investment Fund will provide $750,000 in funds to support New London and Montville, according to a statement from State Sen Martha Marx (D-New London).

New London received funds for planning for renovations at Gordon Court and funds supporting the Southeastern Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc.’s New London Recovery Community.

Montville received a grant for an investment plan for Route 32.

“It’s wonderful news that our region will receive this important funding for community-supporting projects like these,” Marx said in a statement. “I’m grateful to the Community Investment Fund’s leadership for their vision and dedication to our state’s cities and towns, as these projects offer new resources and relief for local residents.”

The fund will release $250,000 for each of the three projects. Planning at Gordon Court is coming after the New London Housing Authority is seeking to replace an existing apartment complex with a new structure with 84 apartments to meet the needs of senior and disabled residents.

The New London Recovery Community offers aid and recovery resources to people suffering from addiction and their family, friends and allies.

The Montville funding will support studying of development opportunities along Routes 32 and 163, seeking ways to create housing to support local businesses and local residents.
