GUILFORD, CT — United States Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-03) announced that she has secured $16.4 million for local projects in her district, and included in that is $963,000 for Guilford to upgrade its public safety communications.
“I am proud to have secured needed dollars to fund several projects in our community,” DeLauro said in a news release. “When I was Chair of the House Appropriations Committee, I fought to bring back community project funding. I strongly believe members of Congress know their communities best, and I am pleased that they can once again hear from the people they represent and direct spending to local projects that help their states thrive. These investments grow our economy and make a real difference in the lives of so many. I am proud to have fought for funding that will make our community healthier, safer, and stronger.”
Guilford Police Chief Christopher Massey spoke about the impact the money will have on the town and department.
“This funding is essential for the continued safety of our community,” he said in a news release. “This project will ensure a redundant, resilient communications system that is interoperable with our public safety partners in Guilford as well as surrounding communities. We appreciate Congresswoman DeLauro’s office and their continued commitment to public safety.”
Overall, DeLauro championed funding for 14 projects in CT’s 3rd District.
