Ridgefield Schools Get Funding for Air Filtration System Upgrades

April 6, 2023

I’m proud to announce that Ridgefield Public Schools will be receiving $13,481.57 for upgrades to its air filtration system. It’s part of a larger $56 million statewide investment to improve heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems for public schools.
 
The grants are being awarded through the HVAC Indoor Air Quality Grants Program for Public Schools, a newly established state program that is administered by the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services.

Here is a list of the schools that will be receiving state grant funding:

  • Barlow Mountain Elementary School: $6,693.88
  • Farmingville Elementary School: $1,844.59
  • Branchville Elementary School: $1,586.50
  • Ridgebury Elementary School: $1,537.71
  • East Ridgefield Middle School: $903.20
  • Ridgefield High School: $632.85
  • Veterans Park Elementary School: $282.84

These funds do not cover the entire cost of the project, but the money will help make the air filtration system upgrades a reality.
