PUTNAM — The “Putnam Post” art exhibit

Council. Lehmann has placed a series of vintage
postcards in front of their present-day settings in

Rovero pleased by funds to support housing in Thompson
HARTFORD — State Rep. Danny Rovero (D-Killingly, Putnam,
Thompson) is pleased the state Bond Commission is expected to
approve a grant-in-aid to the North Grosvenordale Restoration
Limited Partnership to finance rehabilitation of the state-supported
housing portfolio project, River Mill Village in Thompson.
The project, located at 4 Central Street, is part of the state’s
Flexible Housing Program.
“Living in our downtown must be affordable for smart development
to be successful,” said Rovero. “I appreciate the continued
commitment by Governor Malloy to help with affordable housing
in northeast Connecticut.”
The partnership will receive $3,749,114 to renovate and upgrading
existing homes as part of Governor Malloy’s commitment to
affordable housing in the state.
“Housing is a key to building a thriving Connecticut not just
now, but for the next decade — creating new jobs and spawning
new communities where families and young professionals can
thrive,” Malloy said. “We’ve already raised the bar dramatically
with new investments, doing more on housing over the last four
years than Connecticut has seen in decades. And we’re aiming
to raise the bar again. This project in Thompson is a step in that
direction.”
In December 2014, the Department of Housing also invested
$3.75 million in the River Mill Complex.
