State Rep. Linda M. Gentile, D-Ansonia, welcomes the expected allocation of funds to the towns of Ansonia and Derby for road improvements.
The State Bond Commission will meet Friday and is expected to approve the first half of the 2012-2013 town aid road grant in the amount of $15 million.
Ansonia and Derby’s portion of that is $146,824.
A second similar grant will follow at the end of the year. Also known as TAR, Town Aid for Roads grants are generally released in January and July each year.
“These funds help stabilize local property taxes and put people to work on projects that need to be done,” Gentile said. “Town Aid Road grants are especially important, allowing communities like Ansonia and Derby to maintain our roads.”
Gentile said district towns can anticipate receiving the following grants:
- Ansonia – $80,088.
- Derby - $66,736.
The state grant funds allocated are used for safety issues, design work and repaving.
The State Bond Commission meets at 10:30 a.m. Friday in room 1E of the Legislative Office Building in Hartford.
This information is taken from a release from Gentile's office.
