 Message from Steve Wawruck, First Selectman At a recent Public Hearing, town residents overwhelmingly supported the efforts to relocate the Train Station to the center of our downtown and use it as a key component for the revitalization of our Main Street. The Town is grateful to have support from the Department of Transportation and Amtrak for our vision of Main Street as well. I am pleased to announce that the Town of Windsor Locks has received a $250,000 grant from the State of Connecticut for the continued study of the Train Station Relocation. This grant is part of the Transit Orientated Development Funding and in making the announcement, the Governor said the awards are aimed at fostering economic development in the various towns and surrounding regions by supporting local projects that connect state residents to job opportunities, housing, cultural centers and more. The Governor further stated “The projects that we’re supporting will help these towns and surrounding regions take tangible steps in making their communities more walkable, more accessible, and more attractive to residents and employers alike.” Each application was broken into specific “tasks” and OPM and DOT evaluated each task on its own merits. With $13.2 million in applications and only $5 million available under the TOD program, not every task of each application could be funded, and some applications were not funded at all (of the 23 applications, 11 received funding). “It’s critical that when the state makes investments in local projects, those investments work in concert with broader state efforts to improve access to transportation and foster economic growth,” said OPM Secretary Ben Barnes. “This is especially important when the state is working hard to do more with less. There are many worthwhile TOD projects around the state, so the basis for these awards had to include how supportive each project was of broader efforts to grow public transportation ridership statewide.” A full environmental study will be performed during the month of October and we expect to receive this study back by early November. Once this study has been released, residents will have 30 days to review and comment on the overall findings. Town Hall Hours
