HARTFORD- Senator Frantz and Reps. Gibbons
and Camillo, all of Greenwich voted in favor of a provision
to authorize state grant commitments for school building
projects.
The bill contained many school construction authorizations
including the authorization in the amount of $6,242,000
for the rebuilding of the Hamilton Avenue School, which
was completed last spring.
Rep. Camillo said, “The state has met its commitment
to Greenwich for this project. The Greenwich delegation
worked together and I am proud of the result.”
Rep. Gibbons said: "This school construction project
was a long time in finishing. The bottom line is the
teachers are teaching and the children are learning
in their fabulous new school. We are grateful for the
funding that the State has authorized for reimbursement
as we will turn that funding around and use it towards
the rebuilding of Glenville School.”
"This is funding the state had already committed
to the Town of Greenwich and I am relieved it has been
restored," added Senator Frantz.
Rep. Floren was unable to attend the October 5th legislative
session but was over-enjoyed with the passage of this
provision. “We will now be able to fund new school
projects with this state money.”
