West Haven to get additional $2.7 Million

For a change, here's some good news. Reported in the New Haven Register article entitled "West Haven in line for extra $1.3 M", West Haven is apparently entitled to about $2.7 million in reimbursements from the state for unsolicited state refunds for the school projects. $1.3 M is being hailed as an 'additional windfall'.

Of the initial $1.4 Million, the state has already approved $627,000 from a first request for $633,000.

This comes after consultant Ed Arum of Torrington met with the city Building Oversight Committee in order to search for potential monetary returns from the state.

Apparently, this estimate of reimbursements could climb as high as $3.2 million, but the state is likely to reimburse about $2.4 million.

Needless to say, we'll take it.

I don't believe that this money is in the budget... every little bit helps. I wonder, though, how many 'little bits' are going to be 'discovered' here and there. I still feel that we are 'artificially broke'.
