East Haddam and East Hampton initiatives are among those statewide that will receive about $200,000 to assist with the purchase of land to complete regional projects as part of the 2020 Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition Grant Awards.
The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection administers these dispensations, according to a press release from state Sen. Norm Needleman, D-Essex. “I’m grateful to DEEP and the governor for these grants, which will go a long way toward preserving the natural beauty we experience every day in Middlesex County,” he said in a prepared statement.

Cox said Tuesday, a parcel that contains Christopher Brook, identified as the second-worst source of pollution flowing into the lake, according to Parks and Recreation Director Jeremy Hall .
