REP. GIBSON & SEN. MCCRORY SECURE $650K FOR YOUTH ATHLETIC FIELDS IN BLOOMFIELD
(HARTFORD, CONN.) – Today, State Representative Bobby Gibson (D-Bloomfield, Windsor) and State Senator Doug McCrory (D-Hartford, Windsor, and Bloomfield) celebrated the approval of $650,000 in state funding by Governor Lamont and the State Bond Commission for the installation of light fixtures that will allow athletic fields at Bloomfield’s Park School Complex (330 Park Avenue) to be illuminated at night. This improvement to the community’s athletic fields will support youth sports during the fall season and enhance a safe recreational environment for young people.
Rep. Gibson said, "Youth sports hold a dear place in my heart. I know firsthand how participating in athletics as a student can sometimes make or break your academic outcome, and how you will learn important skills you can carry on into adulthood. I am excited and grateful to have secured this funding for Bloomfield because it will broaden the opportunities that our youth athletic teams can offer, providing our students with even more resources to better equip them for the future. I want to offer a sincere thank you to Governor Lamont, the Bonding Subcommittee Co-Chairs, and my Colleague, Sen. McCrory for their continued dedication toward this initiative."
