ANSONIA >> Mayor David Cassetti announced Thursday that the city has secured $400,000 in funding to extend the popular Ansonia Riverwalk on Division Street.
The money is coming from the Federal Highway Administration, which will provide 80 percent, or $320,000, of the grant funding, while the city kicks in a local share of 20 percent, or $80,000.
Cassetti said the project, dubbed Segment 8 of the Riverwalk, will include construction of an additional 500 feet of paved multi-use trail atop the western flood control dike. It will also include construction of a 130-foot pedestrian bridge over the Metro-North railroad.
