Town Council Expected To Apply For State Road-Repair Funds

Town Council members will vote on, and likely approve, the submission of an application for state funds to be used in the repair of several roads in town.

The Public Works Department is requesting that the town submit an application to receive funds to fund, in part or entirely, the repair of the following roads:

• Matianuck Avenue
• Sunnyside Circle
• Robin Road
• Sunnyfield Drive
• West Ridge
• Kellogg Street

On an annual basis, the State of Connecticut provides towns with money for such projects in the form of the Local Capital Improvements Program (LoCIP), according to town documents.

The amount of LoCIP funds Windsor received in fiscal year 2010-11 was $187,739.

In order for Windsor to submit an application for the funds again, town documents state, the Town Council must approve the list of project to be partially or fully funded, and simultaneously submit an application for a single project and pay initial costs up front. The town can then apply for reimbursement of those funds.

The Town Council will meet tonight in Town Hall Council Chambers at 7:30 p.m.

A public hearing on the sale of 55 and 59 Mechanic Street will preceed the meeting, beginning at 7:15 p.m.
