HARTFORD - State Rep. Linda M. Gentile, D-Ansonia, and state Sen. Joseph J. Crisco, Jr., D-Woodbridge, today announced $750,000 in funding for the Fountain Lake Industrial Park.
This money will allow for completion of the access road for Fountain Lake.
“Completing the access road is necessary for the continued development of the industrial park,” Gentile said.
“It will allow interested parties ease of entry into the development zone, thereby providing new and much needed revenues to our Grand List and create opportunity for new jobs. All of which are good for not only our local community, but also for the communities that surround us.”
“We had a company that had been in Ansonia for 160 years and was considering leaving if there was not an access road built to the new Fountain Lake industrial park,” said Crisco, who worked with Gentile to help secure state bonding for the new access road.
“This is just another example of Connecticut’s commitment to keep and grow our local manufacturing base, and spending the money necessary for the infrastructure improvements that businesses expect and demand.”
Fountain Lake’s proximity to Routes 8 and 334 makes it an attractive location for businesses.
And completion of the access is expected to promote economic growth for the area.
This is a press release from House Democrats' office.
