State Representative Richard Roy (D-Milford) welcomed grants for the city of Milford from the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD). Milford received a pair of grants totaling $111,850. A total of $3.15 million was distributed to 57 cities and towns through DECD’s Connecticut Office of the Arts and the State Historic Preservation Office.

“It is critical to support the cultural, artistic and historic preservation organizations so that they can achieve their goals and continue to add to Connecticut’s economic vitality and quality of life,” said Rep. Roy. “I’m pleased DECD included these worthy Milford groups.”

The Academy of Our Lady of Mercy on the campus of Laurelton Hall received a Historic Preservation Restoration Grant of $103,400. The grant provides assistance for the rehabilitation, restoration or stabilization of historic buildings and structures.

The Milford Fine Arts Council received a Local Arts Agency Grant of $8,450. The grant supports local/regional allies of DECD/COA and establishes a network of committed Local Arts Agencies helping to develop a statewide culture and tourism infrastructure to more effectively serve Connecticut’s citizens.
