Redding will receive an additional $56,216 dollars in State aid to municipalities in the next fiscal year.  First Selectwoman Julia Pemberton noted that it's an 8.10-percent increase in state aid for a total aid package of $367,326.  As one of the wealthier municipalities in Connecticut, Pemberton says aid to Redding was slashed over the last several years due to the State's financial woes.  She noted that Redding residents filed 3900 income tax returns in 2019 and paid $ 37.859 million in state income tax.
