Gov. Ned Lamont has approved $31.3 million in state grants for 77 small towns in Connecticut that will be used to complete infrastructure improvements. The grants are provided through the Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP), a state program managed by the Office of Policy and Management (OPM) that allocates grants to small towns for economic development, community conservation and quality-of-life capital projects. 'Our small towns are part of what makes Connecticut such a great place to live and work and by partnering with them on these grants, the state can help get these infrastructure projects completed so these towns can continue to thrive, remain competitive, attract businesses, and improve the quality of life for our residents,' Lamont said in a press statement.
