Yaccarino, Fasano Applaud Grant for North Haven

(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Dannel P. Malloy today announced that 14 small towns throughout Connecticut are being awarded grants under the state’s Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP) to be utilized for certain capital improvement projects, such as road and bridge upkeep, public water system maintenance, and other municipal facility projects.
North Haven received a grant of $127,240 to refurbish Carina Park, including the tennis courts and basketball courts. The residents of Carina Road and South Avenue have formed a group of concerned citizens to clean up and keep their park in safe and current shape. This project will benefit those who live in the neighborhood and the community as a whole.
“This grant is an important investment for our town and will result in much needed improvements to the recreational and athletic opportunities available to the people of North Haven,” State Representative Dave Yaccarino (R-North Haven) said. “I applaud OPM, Governor Malloy and North Haven local officials for making this project a priority.”
State Senator Len Fasano (R-North Haven) said, “Maintaining clean, safe and updated recreational athletic facilities enhances a community in innumerable ways. I’m pleased the Governor’s Office chose to support the local efforts of the Carina Park neighborhood and First Selectman Mike Freda in moving this project ahead.”
