AN ACT AUTHORIZING BONDS OF THE STATE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A POLICE STATION IN THE CITY OF NORWICH.

SB 177 authorizes the state to issue up to $33.5 million in bonds to fund 67% of the construction cost for a new police station in Norwich. The funds would be provided as a grant to the city of Norwich through the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection. This bill directly affects Norwich's local government by providing significant state financial support for a specific infrastructure project. The key mechanism is the state bond authorization, with the city responsible for covering the remaining 33% of costs.
