WATERBURY, Conn. — Gov. Ned Lamont is providing an early look at how he wants to spend billions of dollars in federal coronavirus relief funds.
The Democrat is pledging to focus on initiatives ranging from continued COVID-19 vaccination and testing in the state’s hardest-hit areas to summer learning camps for youth and more assistance for struggling small businesses.
Lamont is required to provide the General Assembly with a proposed allocation plan by Monday for legislators’ consideration.
Connecticut is receiving $2.6 billion for “state recovery” efforts, as well as more education funding and assistance for cities and towns.
