SHELTON — The city's downtown revitalization received a financial boost from the state of Connecticut. Shelton has received two Small Town Economic Assistance Program, or STEAP, grants totaling $240,000 — with $120,000 going toward the extension of the Housatonic Riverwalk on Canal Street and $120,000 toward creation of Shelton Canal Lock Park.  These grants were among more than $31.8 million given to cities and towns throughout the state.  'Both of these activities will enhance the city's ongoing efforts to revitalize Canal Street,' said Mayor Mark Lauretti, who praised Gov.
