Church Street Commons gets $250,000 federal appropriation; public session set for March 12
Summary
Councilor Claudia Riley announced a $250,000 federal appropriation for rehabilitation of the Church Street Commons rectory and said a public information session will be held March 12 at 6:30 p.m.; the $250,000 targets pre‑design architectural/engineering work.
Councilor Claudia Riley told the Town Council that the federal Consolidated Appropriations Act included a $250,000 appropriation for Church Street Commons, specifically to support rehabilitation of the rectory building at the 50‑unit mixed‑income development. "We are very pleased that it continues to receive support both on the federal and state levels," Riley said.
Riley encouraged residents to attend an open public session on Thursday, March 12 at 6:30 p.m. at the project rectory hall (St. ___ hall) where the Church Street Commons board and project experts will present details. She thanked project advocates and Congressman Joe Courtney's office for supporting the request and said the development will likely see strong interest when units become available.
Next step: Church Street Commons will present project details at the March 12 information session; the appropriation is for pre‑design/rectory rehabilitation work and further state/local support may follow as the project advances.
