Rocky Hill Gets $444,000 Grant for Playing Field

Rocky Hill received one of eight Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP) grants Tuesday to returf the McVicar Field in the Rocky Hill High School stadium.

The town was awarded $444,000 to replace the 10-year-old artificial turf field, used for football, soccer and lacrosse games.

“Working with our small towns, we can identify important capital projects that improve the quality-of-life for residents, strengthen local infrastructure, encourage business growth and create jobs,” Gov. Dannel Malloy said. “The investments we are announcing today will help these towns move projects forward that ultimately make Connecticut a better place to live and do business.”

“It is so important for state and local governments to work together to improve our neighborhoods, economic centers, and quality of life,” Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman said. “Gov. Malloy and I recognize that all communities face budget challenges — these grants will help towns address infrastructure problems, improve life for residents, and make a difference for taxpayers.”
