Wethersfield residents have voted overwhelmingly to preserve Kycia Farm so that it remains as-is for future generations. However, funds will be needed to prepare the land, remove brush, improve and maintain the barn, and keep roadways operational and safe.
State Rep. Amy Morrin Bello and I worked to secure state funding for the Friends of Kycia Farm to help them with their sustainability and operational efforts.
Of Note: The Bond Commission also allocated $40 million in state funding to reopen Connecticut’s popular Time To Own program to a new round of applicants. Established by Governor Lamont with the support of the state legislature, Time To Own provides down payment assistance to low and moderate-income, first-time homebuyers in Connecticut. Administered by the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) on behalf of the Connecticut Department of Housing, this program has already helped thousands of people in the state buy their first homes since launching in 2022.
Sincerely,
Kerry Wood
