Funding approved for Henry Abbott to purchase new equipment

Bond money has been approved for technical high schools across the state.  The state Bond Commission on Friday approved more than $410,000 for Henry Abbott Technical School in Danbury.  The money will be used for upgrades, alterations, repairs and other improvements for equipment.  Danbury State Representative Bob Godfrey says the curriculum needs to meet the needs.

 

The school will be replacing lathes and milling machines.  Godfrey says training on current equipment will go a long way to make sure the investment in Connecticut's future continues.

 

State Representative David Arconti says Abbott Tech is one of the finest schools in the state and this money will be used to make the technical school more competitive--readying students for the increased demand in manufacturing and technology.

 

The State Department of Education says the projects at Abbott Tech are part of the larger plan to finance infrastructure improvements and equipment of the expansion of manufacturing programs at the state's technical schools.
