More than $1 million in state funds will be used to help refurbish the historic Day newspaper building in anticipation of it being transformed into a residential and commercial complex, Gov. Ned Lamont announced on Thursday. The $1.23 million Connecticut Communities Challenge Grant award to the City of New London will in part pay for façade and window repairs, energy system upgrades and roof replacement work at the 116-year-old building at 47 Eugene O’Neill Drive. Leaders of Maine-based High Tide Capital development group, which specializes in restoring historic structures, late last month announced they had entered into a purchase and sales agreement to buy the four-story building for $1.875 million.
