The state Community Investment Fund Board approved $101 million in funding Tuesday for projects that would allow Bloomfield to draft plans for its downtown, create a new park in Windsor, a public housing development in Enfield, and a range of other projects across the region and state. In Bloomfield, a grant for $250,000 will allow the town to create a plan for redeveloping the town center. “It’s a great day for Bloomfield,” said Town Councilman Kenneth McClary. “Our state partners, they see the vision and they want to make sure that we’re successful. And so I appreciate everybody who had a hand in it.” The Town of Windsor received $4 million to create Wilson Park in what is a currently vacant plot of land next to the on-ramp for I-291. The CIF application describes the park as “multi-dimensional” and it is expected to provide a variety of amenities to people in the Wilson and Deerfield neighborhoods of Windsor.
