AN ACT AUTHORIZING BONDS OF THE STATE FOR A YOUTH CENTER IN THE FAIR HAVEN COMMUNITY OF NEW HAVEN.

HB 5135 authorizes the state to issue up to $2.5 million in bonds to fund a youth center in New Haven's Fair Haven neighborhood. The bond proceeds would be provided as a grant to the City of New Haven through the Department of Economic and Community Development for the center's development. This bill specifically allocates state funds for construction, not ongoing operations. The project directly affects Fair Haven residents, particularly young people in that community.
