The state Bond Commission is scheduled to meet next week to vote on $1.3 billion in general obligation and revenue bonds for dozens of projects across the state. The agenda includes $5 million for improvements to the Department of Labor’s central office in Wethersfield, and $1.5 million for the city of Hartford’s streetscape improvements along Farmington Avenue. The proposed bond authorizations also include $74.4 million for projects under the Department of Economic and Community Development’s (DECD) Community Investment Fund, which supports downtown revitalization, brownfield remediation and upgrades to cultural assets such as Hartford’s Stowe Center for Literary Activism. The Department of Transportation is also requesting $44 million in special tax obligation bonds for continued improvements to the Mixmaster in Waterbury, which serves as the junction of Interstate 84 and Route 8, and the rehabilitation of the Gold Star Bridge in New London.
