In its final meeting before the end of Connecticut’s fiscal year June 30, the State Bond Commission on Friday approved about $790 million in long-term borrowing for dozens of projects, from more than $32 million for planning and renovations to the Agricultural Experiment Stations laboratory in Windsor, to $171 million for statewide school construction. In a fast, 15-minute meeting in the Legislative Office Building, the committee dominated by Democrats, with no debate, approved $222 million for a variety of dwelling initiatives, including workforce housing and the Time to Own program, which offers forgivable loans to first-time home buyers. The 10-member commission also approved $80 million for the state Department of Economic and Community Development’s local investment fund for 35 projects.
