 “For most Connecticut towns and smaller cities, budgets are stretched thin but their infrastructure needs and the housing needs of their residents haven’t diminished,” Malloy said in a press release.  “That’s why the Small Cities program — and the federal grants the program awards — are so critical.  The funding is key to these communities and their efforts to improve the lives of residents through housing programs and community projects.”
