Reallocate the remaining end-of-year American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, allocate the FY24 General Fund surplus of $329.3 million, permanently reduce the Budget Reserve Fund threshold from 18% to 15% to reallocate the difference to ratepayers.

On Tuesday, I joined the Lt. Governor and state and local leaders for a press conference to highlight a $360,000 grant Berlin received in June to assist with the cleanup and remediation of 55 Steele Boulevard.

The grant, awarded through the state’s Brownfield Remediation and Development Program, will assist with the construction of 50 mixed income residential units – 30% of which will be deemed affordable, along with 20,000 square feet of commercial space.

I’d like to reiterate my thanks…
