Rep. Weir Joined Community Members and Municipal Employees for Ribbon Cutting of New Turf Fields in Glastonbury

It truly is a small world. During yesterday's ribbon cutting to unveil the new Multisport Turf Fields at Glastonbury High School, State Representative Steve Weir bumped into KC Warren and Jason Albert, who were a couple of his old classmates back in 1992. KC is the head coach for the boys’ soccer team and Jason works as the Park Maintenance Supervisor with the Parks and Recreation Department. "These fields will not only provide our local and high school athletes with a top-notch place to come together and practice/play, but a space where they will most certainly build and develop the types of important life skills they will use throughout the rest of their lives," Rep. Weir said. Amazing work by everyone involved to get these athletic fields to where they are today.

Rep. Weir Joins Rep. Barry for Tour of Glastonbury Library and 2CF Studio

Need a projector for your next party? How about a karaoke machine or maybe some yard games? How about a metal detector or telescope? Our public libraries have come a long way from the days of card catalogs, microfiche, and the quiet, hushed spaces many of us remember growing up with. Today, borrowing items like these is just one of the ways our local libraries are transforming. In addition to the traditional book borrowing, they offer educational resources, public programs, and spaces where people of all ages can gather, learn, connect, and explore. Yesterday, thanks to Library Director Amy Cadieux, State Representative Jill Barry and I had an opportunity to see what makes Welles-Turner Memorial Library in Glastonbury unique and have an opportunity to explore their 2CF Studio (added during the 2022 renovation). Their makerspace area is incredible. It features 3D printers, desktop CNC machine, laser cutter, poster printer, laminator, embroidery machine, sewing machines, and more. They offer a variety of classes, training, and are open to anyone interested in trying out some of their equipment. To learn more, visit their website here .

Marlborough to Receive TRIP Grant

Marlborough Receives $508,780 TRIP Grant In April, I sent a letter in support of this project to Commissioner Eucalitto and stressed how essential this replacement is in significantly reducing flood and erosion risks on South Road, so I’m happy to see this grant added to DOT’s list of priorities this time around. This grant will help the town address any existing vulnerabilities and work to mitigate any future issues the old metal culvert may have caused.
