Bill #5918 Requests $1.2 million For Arts Center Restoration

State Representative Paul Davis (117th district) introduced a bill which will go in front of the State Commerce Committee this Thursday, Feb. 5th at 11 a.m. The bill, House Bill 5918, seeks 1.2 million dollars for the restoration of the Cultural Arts Center on Center street.

Paul attended Kevin's presentation in front of City Council in January and I see this action as a direct result of that meeting. Congratulations and well done!

Rosemary and Barth will represent us and speak in favor of bill 5918 at the public session in Hartford this Thursday. They will share the experience at our meeting Thursday evening, February 5th at 7 p.m. in the basement of City Hall. There will also be city officials speaking in favor of the bill.

I urge all reading this to contact your local representatives and ask them to submit testimony in favor of House Bill 5918. Mention the public hearing this Thursday. More information and local Reps contact information can be found at the following site: cga.ct.gov
