Stamford, Norwalk Neighborhoods Receive $30 Million+ in Federal Funding

Residents in the West Side and East Side of Stamford, and around Martin Luther King Boulevard in Norwalk have dealt with traffic and congestion problems, unsafe roads for pedestrians and bicyclists, air quality issues, and neglected infrastructure for decades.
These areas are some of the most diverse in both cities and have some of the most economically disadvantaged residents. In Norwalk, the three neighborhoods around the boulevard have three of the top five poverty rates in the city-10.3% poverty rate in Woodward, 7.8% in South Norwalk, and 7.5% in Springwood. Stamford’s West Side neighborhood has a 14% poverty rate and 39% of its residents are classified as low-income, while the East Side has a 12% poverty rate and 26% of its residents are classified as low-income.
However, thanks in part to federal funding, local officials said that improvements are now coming to these areas. See more at coastalconnecticuttimes.com

Tax and spend Democrats never improve anything. Just more wasted money.
