The State Bond Commission is expected to approve grants-in-aid to Naugatuck Valley Community College and to Midwestern Connecticut Council of Alcoholism at their meeting today.  Naugatuck Valley Community College will receive $2,000,000 for new instruction, research and laboratory equipment at the new downtown Danbury location.

Danbury state Representative Bob Godfrey says this comes as the college prepares to move into their new space on Main and West Streets, currently under renovation.

Midwestern Connecticut Council of Alcoholism, Inc. is poised to receive an $189,000 grant. The group is among other non-profit community-based providers of mental health and addiction treatment centers who will undergo various alterations, repairs and improvements with these funds.
