Valley lawmakers hail inclusion of project on agenda
HARTFORD - State Representatives Kara Rochelle, D-Ansonia/Derby, Mary Welander, D- Orange, Woodbridge, Derby, Nicole Klarides-Ditria R-Beacon Falls, Derby, Seymour, and state Senator Jorge Cabrera, D-Hamden, applaud the inclusion of $200,000 on the Connecticut State Bond Commission's Dec. 21 meeting agenda to replace an elevator and windows at Century Plaza, 30 Elizabeth St., Derby.
Century Plaza is TEAM, Inc.'s headquarters and houses several other nonprofit organizations for the Naugatuck Valley and surrounding region.
"These funds, if approved, will help to ensure that thousands of residents in our community can more easily access a building that provides vital support and services to the children, families, and seniors of our community. I am proud to advance this project and am grateful to Sen. Cabrera, and Representatives Welander and Klarides-Ditria for being strong partners in this effort that will have a lasting impact," Rochelle said. "I want to thank the governor and members of the State Bond Commission for including this project on the commission's next meeting agenda. This important project will help enhance the building's safety, ensuring residents can access the nonprofits that touch so many lives in our community."
Klarides-Ditria said, “Smart, long term investments like these that increase accessibility while also improving physical infrastructure will bring substantial dividends back to our community through a safer, more welcoming environment for all of our citizens. I’m pleased these funds are being used to bolster such a wonderful community resource and I want to thank my colleagues on the delegation for working tirelessly to get this money on the Commission’s agenda."
"I am elated to see the hard work put forth by my colleagues in the delegation and I to secure these funds for TEAM move forward," said Cabrera. "This investment not only serves a practical purpose, but also shows our commitment to prioritizing the well-being of both young people and the elderly through support of this amazing non-for-profit organization. We know, as we continue to recover from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, support for TEAM and the human services they provide are essential to the prosperity and health of our community."
“At a time when being able to connect residents to resources is more important than ever, I am
incredibly grateful for the allocation of these funds that will make necessary improvements to create
a safer, more accessible space," Rep. Welander said. "This will help residents and families throughout the area lead more successful lives, leading to more successful communities. I would like to sincerely thank the Governor and the Bond Commission for their support of the district in this effort."
