An ambitious plan to revitalize and redesign the areas of Church Street and Railroad Square near Christmas Village took a step forward this month, now that the city has received a $5.2 million grant. The plan includes a platform for train passengers on nearby Railroad Square, a public park area, improved sidewalks and street surfaces, signage and landscaping. The Revitalization of Railroad Square project is now in the design phase, and construction is anticipated to start in fall 2023. On Dec. 29, Lamont announced that the state was awarding approximately $36.5 million in grants to eight cities and towns under the second round of the recently launched Connecticut Communities Challenge Grant program.
