A new state grant program is available to help fund tree planting and other projects that combat climate change in Connecticut.
Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz announced the $1 million urban forestry grant program earlier this week alongside environmentalists and lawmakers. She also urged Connecticut residents to support the governor s bill on climate adaptation. The bill outlines state investment to build resilience to future storms and other infrastructure projects to safeguard against rising sea levels and climate-warming industry.
Legislation drafted in the House is in alignment with President Joe Biden’s “build back better” priority to focus on “sustainable and resilient infrastructure investments.” If passed, the bill would provide funding options to cities and towns allowing them to charge a conveyance fee on property taxes and those funds would be allocated to climate adaptation efforts.
