When the state Bond Commission met on May 29, 2026, several projects in Middlebury and Waterbury were approved for funding.
"I'm thankful that the commission included these projects for authorization. $5 million was approved as a grant-in-aid to the City of Waterbury for the capitalization of the Waterbury Land Bank Authority. During the recently completed legislative session, I co-sponsored a bill to provide funding to the Authority for the acquisition, maintenance, remediation and redevelopment of properties in Waterbury," said Representative Bill Pizzuto (R-71).
Storm/flood damage recovery efforts and repair at Larkin Trail State Park, which runs through Middlebury, will be funded as part of a larger $10 million request for statewide improvements at various State Park, Forest, Boat Launch and Wildlife Management areas.
The Commission also signed off on $4 million for remediation activities at the Anamet Site in Waterbury, and $550,000 for the state’s share of remedial action at the Scovill Industrial Landfill site in Waterbury. The federal Environmental Protection Agency is remediating hazardous waste and contaminated disposal at the national priority list (NPL) Superfund site.
