Connecticut invests in rural infrastructure improvements
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont and Connecticut Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto announced that nearly $10 million in grants are being awarded to nine rural communities across the state as part of the Transportation Rural Improvement Program (TRIP). TRIP, a state-funded program administered by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, is designed to support the state’s rural communities, which are often ineligible for many federal transportation programs.
“Too often, our smaller towns get left behind when it comes to federal transportation dollars, simply because of their size. We established TRIP to change that,” said Lamont. “What makes Connecticut special is as much about our small towns as it is our cities, and they deserve the same commitment to safety and infrastructure. This round of funding will make roads safer and neighborhoods more connected for generations to come.”
