New London receives grant
The city of New London recently received a $50,000 grant from the Long Island Sound Futures Fund to improve the health and ecosystem of Long Island Sound.
The city was one of 38 recipients that were awarded a total of $3.8 million in funding. The grant, and a $50,000 match from the city’s Public Utilities Stormwater Consulting Fund, will be used to start Phase 2 of the Watershed Management Plan Project for New London.
The Watershed Management Plan Framework is intended to serve as a roadmap as the city begins to address the community s need for coordinated planning and aligned investment across agencies, programs, communities and watersheds.
