“A small town like Roxbury gets a great deal accomplished on their own, with very little assistance from the state, so it’s good to be able to give them a helping hand every now and then with capital improvement projects,” said Senator DeLuca. “First Selectman Barbara Henry did a great job of coordinating this project on the local end, and I’m pleased that the Governor and the State Bond Commission saw fit to forward this grant award through the approval process. This grant will alleviate the need to place the entire burden of funding this project with local property tax dollars, which is good news in these tough fiscal times.”

“I’m very pleased to see Roxbury get this assistance with their salt and sand operation,” said Rep. O’Neill. “This is a vital project, considering the kinds of winters we have had lately. This building will increase the ability of Roxbury’s municipal government to provide clear and safe roads for motorists and residents. I appreciate the Governor’s assistance in making this happen.”
