AN ACT AUTHORIZING BONDS OF THE STATE FOR THE RESTORATION AND RENOVATION OF THE PINNEY HOUSE IN THE TOWN OF ELLINGTON.

SB 199 authorizes the state to issue up to $1 million in bonds to fund the restoration and renovation of the historic Pinney House in Ellington (located at 82 Pinney Street). The funds would be provided as a grant to the town of Ellington or a designated nonprofit organization through the Department of Economic and Community Development. The bill directly affects Ellington residents and local historical preservation efforts by supporting the physical restoration of this landmark building. Its purpose is to preserve a historic site for ongoing historical education and as a community space for residents.
