A few weeks ago, Connecticut’s Office of Policy and Management issued a Request for Applications for the state’s first-ever transit-oriented-development pilot program.  The $5 million used for the program was released in Governor Dan Malloy’s first State Bond Commission hearing and was welcomed after three years of delays.

According to the announcement, the grants will range from $250,000 to $1,000,000 and can be used for planning efforts or actions that facilitate implementation of transit-oriented development. These include, but are not limited to, infrastructure studies, market analyses, and environmental assessments.

Interested municipalities have until this Thursday, June 9 at 4 pm, to submit questions regarding the Request for Applications.  Final proposals and Memorandum of Understandings are due on August 4.
