Grasso Center Closing Worries Parents
Officials said that there are 30 individuals at the Ella Grasso Center and 10 at the Meriden Regional Center who will be moved to another center in Norwalk.
The Grasso center serves Bridgeport, Stratford, Fairfield, Trumbull, Milford, Easton and Monroe. The move left the parents and guardians in the lurch, and they say they were kept in the dark.
