20 Dec 2018
The town will receive a $150,000 grant from the state Department of Economic and Community Development for remediation work on the former Groton Heights School property, Governor Dannel P. Malloy announced Wednesday.
The town is among eight municipalities across Connecticut slated to receive state grants "to assess, remediate and revitalize blighted properties in their communities — also known as “brownfields” — and put them back into productive use," according to the announcement. A total of $3.6 million will benefit 11 projects comprising 59 acres, the news release states.
