Hammonasset State Park, Connecticut
Connecticut Governor Dannel P. Malloy recently announced that the State Bond Commission has approved more than $9.9 million for repairs and construction at Hammonasset State Park in Madison.
Malloy said the money will be used to construct a new bathhouse to replace two buildings that were significantly damaged and subsequently demolished following Tropical Storm Irene and to replace the Meigs Point Nature Center.
Construction at Hammonasset will include the following:
- $7,515,790 for constructing a single building complex to replace two buildings that had to be demolished after suffering significant damage during Tropical Storm Irene. The complex will include a men’s and women’s toilet building, a new concession area, and Environmental Conservation Police/First Aid office, and a storage building for lifeguard equipment.
- $2,389,451 for replacing the old Meigs Point Nature Center with a new facility. The old facility has been deemed too small and impractical to meet expanded programs and public needs. The new Nature Center will be able to accommodate larger school groups and will also be more energy efficient.
