State Bond Commission approves $337.8M

HARTFORD, Conn. – The state Bond Commission approved another $337.8 million in general obligation bonds Monday.

That means the state has bonded $1.38 billion since January. Some of the largest items on Monday’s agenda included $15 million to help school districts across that state construct the space to house their preschool programs. There’s another $36 million released for improvements to Sandy Hook Elementary School and $131.5 million to finish construction of a technology park at the University of Connecticut.

An estimated $2.75 million in funding for Waterbury Hospital for the acquisition of medical and diagnostic equipment was withdrawn because the hospital is in negotiations with a private company looking to acquire the nonprofit hospital.
