This bill authorizes the State Bond Commission to issue up to $10.5 million in state bonds to provide grant funding for capital improvements to four fire service organizations in Norwich, Connecticut. Specifically, the bill allocates $2 million to the Laurel Hill Volunteer Fire Company, $1.3 million to the Yantic Fire Engine Company, $1 million to the East Great Plain Volunteer Fire Department, and $6.2 million to the Norwich Fire Department.
