Bill > HB05980

This bill provides funding for a federal planning grant to help the town of Wallingford extend the Quinnipiac River Linear Trail to the town of North Haven. Specifically, the bill allocates $67,500 from bond proceeds to support the Phase IV planning efforts of the trail extension project. The funds will be used to cover the costs associated with the federal planning grant awarded to Wallingford in 2024. The purpose of the bill is to enable the town to proceed with the trail expansion project, which will connect Wallingford and North Haven through a linear trail alongside the Quinnipiac River. By utilizing these bond proceeds, the town can advance the planning stages of the trail extension, potentially improving local infrastructure and providing recreational opportunities for residents of both municipalities.
