We talk often about the funding needed to keep our small towns at their best, and that’s why I’m so happy to announce that Chester, Deep River, and Essex have been awarded grants through the Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP).

Voting is one of our nation’s most fundamental rights and a hallmark of our democracy. It is critical that all eligible voters have equal access and opportunity to participate in our electoral process. Connecticut is committed to ensuring that the polls are accessible to all voters and that you are fully able to exercise your voting rights privately and independently.

The application period for the 2022-2023 winter season of the Connecticut Energy Assistance Program (CEAP) is now open! This program provides crucial support to vulnerable Connecticut homeowners and renters with the costs of heating their homes.

For far too long, Higganum has suffered from a lack of recreational opportunities for both families with young children, and seniors who are looking to stay active.

That's why I'm happy to announce the town will receive approximately $760,000 in grant funding from the State Bond Commission, with approval of two projects in Higganum — the entranceway to the town of Haddam.
