West Haven Awarded $1.2M State Grant For Remediation Project
WEST HAVEN, CT — West Haven has been awarded a $1.2 million state grant as part of a funding package that benefits 22 environmentally contaminated properties in 17 towns, according to officials.
Gov. Ned Lamont announced Friday that he has approved a series of state grants totaling $26.3 million that will be used to support the remediation and redevelopment of 130 acres of contaminated land throughout Connecticut, consisting of 22 properties located in 17 towns and cities.
The funds will support the communities with the costs of cleaning up these properties so they can be redeveloped and put back into productive use to support economic growth and housing needs.
The grants are being released through the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development’s Brownfield Remediation and Development Program. These state investments are expected to leverage approximately $112.7 million in private investments, which is critical to bringing these 22 properties back into productive reuse.
“Nobody wants to have old, polluted, and blighted properties in their neighborhood that sit vacant for decades, especially when that land could be used to grow new businesses and create housing for people who need it,” Lamont said. “This state program enables us to partner with municipalities and developers to bring these lifeless properties back from the dead.”

- West Haven: $1,187,270 grant to abate hazardous building materials on the 1.53-acre property located at 66 Tetlow Street. The former elementary school will be the future site of the Shoreline Wellness Center and Behavioral Health Clinic that will provide mental healthcare services.
Hassan Diarra, Solomon “Solo” Ball, Jayden Ross and Jaylin Stewart will appear at the East Hartford Dunkin’ Donuts at 364 Silver Lane, East Hartford, at 7:30 a.m.
There, they will be meeting and greeting fans and serving iced coffee on National Iced Coffee Day.
The Husky quartet, all members of the 2024 national championship team (with Diarra also on the 2023 title squad) will be joined by a CCMC patient ambassador.
All four of the players are expected to play huge roles in UConn’s quest to win a third title in a row, a quest that received a major boost when beloved head coach Dan Hurley spurned a job offer to coach the Los Angeles Lakers last week to stay at UConn.
According to Dunkin’, the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation’s mission is to provide the
“simple joys of childhood to kids battling hunger or illness” and has granted more than $50 million since its inception in 2006.
“Thanks to support from guests nationwide, Dunkin’ Iced Coffee Day collectively raised $3.5 million to support kids in children’s hospitals throughout the country,” wrote Dunkin’ in a statement.

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — A law signed Monday hopes to make the beauty world more inclusive for people of color.
“I mean, the curly, coily hair are also movers and shakers, and they got places to go and people to see, and they want to feel welcome and feel as though there’s a stylist in your salon that is knowledgeable and skilled in their hair texture,” said Shaqueen Valentine, the co-owner of Vanity Studio.
The new law requires hairdressers and barbers to learn how to work with textured hair as part of their training. Wavy, curly and coiled hair falls underneath the definition.
