康涅狄格州批准 690 万美元治理 New Britain 长期水患、另设 25 万美元房主赔偿计划
康涅狄格州州长 Ned Lamont 与 New Britain 市官员 10 月 21 日宣布，州债券委员会已批准 690 万美元拨款，用于治理该市 Allen Street 一带长期反复发生的洪水：建设新的雨水排水系统、更换污水与供水管线并修复道路。当地官员表示，该社区的老旧排水系统无法应对强降雨，居民地下室与街道多年反复被淹。
同时宣布的还有「New Britain 房主洪灾赔偿计划」，由州政府出资 25 万美元，帮助受灾最严重的房主支付维修费用，由州主计长办公室负责执行，前州众议员 Peter Tercyak 志愿担任计划管理员。New Britain 市长 Bobby Sanchez 表示，居民们多年被告知要等待，如今治理工程终于落实，市府也将投入配套资金。
Connecticut Approves $6.9 Million to Fix Chronic Flooding in New Britain, Plus $250,000 Homeowner Program
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont and New Britain officials announced on October 21 that the State Bond Commission has approved $6.9 million in grants to address chronic flooding around the city's Allen Street neighborhood: building a new stormwater system, replacing sewer and water lines, and repairing roads. Officials said the neighborhood floods during heavy rainstorms because the aging drainage system cannot handle large volumes of water.
Officials also launched the New Britain Homeowners Flood Compensation Program, backed by $250,000 in state funding, to help the hardest-hit homeowners pay for repairs; the program will be run by the state comptroller's office, with former state Rep. Peter Tercyak volunteering as administrator. Mayor Bobby Sanchez said residents had been told for years to wait while their basements flooded and streets washed out.
