Pursuant to Public Act 25-174 Section 139 no municipality described in subsection (a) of this section shall receive the portion of the grant-in-aid pursuant to section 55 of this act that exceeds the amount of any grant-in-aid such municipality received pursuant to section 55 of public act 23-205, as amended by this act, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, until the chief executive officer of such municipality appears before the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management and, if applicable, submits a written plan.

The main intent of this funding is to supplement your municipal infrastructure. CGS Section 13a-175a(b) states that if a municipality wishes to use the funds for purposes other than those listed under CGS Section 13a-175a(a); a waiver request must be sent to the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management stating the purpose for which the grant will be used.
While a municipality may not wish to use the funds for “town road” projects, the grant must be used for capital projects with a minimum 20-year life expectancy for consideration. The Secretary may either grant or deny the request.
Additionally, pursuant to CGS Sections 25-68b through 25-68h (“Flood Management Act”) any state agency proposing an activity within or affecting a floodplain must certify that the project meets certain requirements detailed in the Flood Management Act.
As part of maintaining the state’s transportation infrastructure, OPM passes to municipalities’ state funding for municipal activities, such as local road and bridge projects as defined above. Contact: Elizabeth. Gallo@ct.
