Fairfield County towns to put grant money toward senior housing improvements

Two municipalities in Fairfield County will receive grants from the state of Connecticut for modernization and development projects, the Fairfield County Business Journal reported. Shelton and Trumbull will each get $800,000 through the Community Development Block Grant Small Cities program. Shelton will use the money to start modernizing a public housing complex for seniors, and Trumbull will use it to renovate a senior rental housing development, according to the outlet. The grants are “investments in our neighborhoods, in the people who live here and in our economic future,” Gov. Dannel Malloy said. [FBJ]
