CT Wartime Service Medal Ceremony
Photos from the CT Wartime Service Medal Ceremony are now available to view. We’re honored to help capture and preserve these special moments recognizing Connecticut’s wartime veterans and their service.
On this episode of Senator Kissel and Friends, I was joined by Enfield Veterans Council members and Connecticut Veterans Hall of Fame inductees Lucien Lefevre and Pamela Townsend.
Both have dedicated years of service to our country and our community, continuing to give back through their work supporting veterans in Enfield and across Connecticut.
Thank you, Lucien and Pamela, for your service and your continued commitment to our veterans!
I was glad to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the newly opened Windermere School in Ellington! This is an exciting milestone for Ellington Public Schools and the community. Thank you to everyone who helped make this project possible and continues to invest in our students and their future.
I joined state and local officials in Windsor Locks to break ground on a new housing development along Main Street.
The $49 million first phase will bring 70 apartments, including affordable and supportive housing options, along with commercial space. The full project will eventually include 120 apartments and additional retail space.
Located next to the new Windsor Locks train station, this project is an important step toward revitalizing downtown, expanding housing options, and creating new opportunities for the community.
Thank you to everyone who has worked to move these projects forward and invest in the future of Windsor Locks!
