Gov. Ned Lamont announced Tuesday that he had approved a $4 million state grant to the town of Stonington to clean up contamination in the vacant half of the William Clark Company Threadmill at 21 Pawcatuck Ave. The cleanup of the 5.2-acre site is part of a plan to reuse the building as a 51-unit apartment building with limited commercial space. In addition, a $1,857,370 grant was awarded to the Norwich Community Development Corp. to remediate and stabilize the historic Mason House located at 68 Thermos Ave. The Integrated Day Charter School plans to use the space to expand and provide community mental health services and host events. The funds were among $20 million in grants awarded to support the remediation and redevelopment of 21 blighted and contaminated properties across the state. The money is aimed at cleaning up the sites so they can be redeveloped and “put back into productive use to support economic growth and housing needs.”
