DANBURY -- Gov. M. Jodi Rell has announced that $6.7 million will be distributed to towns, including several in our area, for energy efficiency projects.
Rell said the money would help pay for projects that would ultimately lower costs to local taxpayers. The money, which came to the state through the federal stimulus program, can be used for a variety of projects including energy audits, retrofits and renewable technologies for municipal buildings.
Area towns that are slated to receive the money include: Bethel, $78,609; Brookfield, $9,050; New Fairfield, $65,828; Newtown, $102,573; Redding, $50,597; and Ridgefield, which will receive $94,124.
