HB 5069 Connecticut House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT AUTHORIZING BONDS OF THE STATE FOR ROAD WORK IN THE TOWN OF NEW MILFORD.

HB 5069 authorizes the state to issue bonds to fund road repairs in New Milford, specifically for projects recommended in the Department of Transportation's October 2024 Road Safety Audit report. The bond proceeds would be used by the DOT to provide a grant-in-aid directly to New Milford for completing these road improvements. This bill targets the town of New Milford and focuses on safety-related infrastructure upgrades identified in the audit. The funding mechanism is straightforward: state bonds → DOT grant → New Milford road projects.
