State Representative Linda Gentile (D‑Ansonia, Derby) and state Senator Joe Crisco, Jr. (D‑Woodbridge) are expecting the State Bond Commission to approve funds for Ansonia High School.
A $381,000 grant-in-aid will be used by the school district for improvements at the school. It is discretionary money that can be spent for general improvements, building alterations, repairs, needed technology, new equipment or any project that addresses building or site deficiencies that will promote the health, safety and learning of the student population.
“I know that this funding will be put to good use,” said Rep. Gentile. “AHS is a beautiful facility that needs to be carefully maintained to remain an attractive building and campus where students can be safe, inspired to learn and grow into young productive adults.”
“State aid for our schools isn’t just confined to ECS grants. It’s also reflected in state investments like this bonding for Ansonia High,” said Sen. Crisco. “I’m committed to investing in Ansonia’s students and their public education.” Crisco’s district includes Ansonia and seven other towns.
Bonding for this project was part of the 2016 state budget adjustment.
