Murphy told city officials Monday he will provide as much support as possible for an application the city submitted in April seeking $24 million in federal funds from the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant program. The RAISE application is pending approval by the U.S. Department of Transportation. If approved, the city has committed $6 million for a $30-million project that would fund the second phase of the Naugatuck River Greenway project, West Main Street renovations and repairs, creation of a riverfront park on Jackson Street and installation of electric vehicle charging stations at the Meadow Street train station parking lot.
