As the defense industry expands, towns and cities in the region want to take a fresh look at housing, climate resilience, and child care, among other topics, to ensure compatibility between the naval submarine base and Electric Boat and local communities.
And the military is expected to pay for the study.
The Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments, along with the Town of Groton, is seeking a Department of Defense grant to update a 2017 study, which tackled issues from transportation to land use and housing, and to take a deeper dive into housing issues in Groton.
