The town is celebrating the completion of the $1.7 million first phase of its streetscape project — a project that has been over a decade in the making. In recognition of the project, which was made possible through a $500,000 award from the Connecticut Department of Housing’s Main Street Investment Fund Grant, the town will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony at 2 p.m. Wednesday on on the front lawn of Morrison Gallery, 60 N. Main St. The ceremony, which will take place along the project’s route, is open to the entire community. The project involves replacing approximately 11,000 linear feet of sidewalks. Phase one was expected to cost about $1.7 million. Phase two will include Route 7 south of the Soldiers’ Monument, to Kent Greenhouse & Gardens, and 341 East on the south side of the street, which is the firehouse side. On the north side, it will go to Maple Street Extension and end at Stuart Farm Apartments, and include the south side of Lane Street. Phase two is expected to begin next fall, Speck said Monday.
