The town of Waterford will receive a $500,000 Small Town Economic Assistance Program, or STEAP, grant, for the design and physical improvements to Mago Point Park, including streetscaping and public parking.
The project also includes façade improvements for Mago Point businesses, according to a press release from Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
“Working with our small towns, we can identify important capital projects that improve the quality-of-life for residents, strengthen local infrastructure, encourage business growth and create jobs,” Malloy said. “The investments we are announcing today will help these towns move projects forward that ultimately make Connecticut a better place to live and do business.”
