State Budget Implications in Southington

The fallout of Gov. Dannel Malloy’s budget proposal will continue for months.

But there are two things apparently are certain — there will be an impact upon Southington.

Under the governor’s fiscal proposal, rest areas along I-84 eastbound — specifically, the stop Southington will be closed, according to The Courant.

Also impacted are the rest tops in Willington, and a Welcome Center on I-95 northbound in Westbrook would also be closed. The moves would save just over $1.1 million.
