South Windsor Police Department Federally Earmarked For Radio Upgrades

SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — South Windsor is among the numerous Connecticut municipalities included in an allotment of $76.6 million for Connecticut Congressionally Directed Spending projects in the five Appropriations bills that have been passed by the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee.

Among the projects totaling $8.232 million in the Committee-passed Fiscal Year 2025 Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations bill is a $176,000 allotment for the South Windsor Police Department for radio upgrades.

Committee passage is the first step in the process, and funding will only be made available when the bill is passed by Congress and signed into law.

"These bills are full of big wins for Connecticut, including more than $76 million for community-based projects that will help create good-paying jobs, upgrade aging infrastructure and public utilities, expand affordable housing and transportation, and ensure our towns and local organizations have the necessary resources to do what they do best – serve our community" Sen. Chris Murphy said. "These investments are the result of thousands of conversations I’ve had with people across Connecticut, and I’m proud to have worked with Senator [Richard] Blumenthal to ensure their inclusion in the budget. I’ll continue working hard to make sure these bills make it to the president’s desk so these federal dollars can make a real difference in our state."

Blumenthal said, "These high-impact projects address our state’s most critical needs – ranging from environmental preservation to violence prevention to affordable housing construction. The Committee’s support of more than $76 million for Connecticut is a significant step toward ensuring that these transformative projects move forward. I will keep fighting, alongside Senator Murphy, to deliver these invaluable investments to communities all across our state."
