"Optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you."
Joined Office of Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz, First Selectman Scott Storms, Community Advocate Selectman Jonathan Savino, State Representative Tami Zawistowski, and State Representative Jane Garibay yesterday in Windsor Locks to highlight a $4 million state grant that will help remediate and redevelop 255 Main Street.
This investment moves Windsor Locks one step closer to realizing a new train station and bringing meaningful transit-oriented development to the heart of town.
Starting today, July 1st, several new laws are officially in effect here in Connecticut. These changes touch on public safety, healthcare, education, and more.
I’m committed to keeping you updated every step of the way, because informed communities are empowered communities.
