The Town of Newtown is seeking federal funding from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration.  The money would go to constructing an updated and improved sanitary sewer system at the Fairfield Hills Campus.  The administration is conducting an assessment of potential of the proposed project to affect the environment and/or historic properties, because the project is proposed to be in, or may affect, a floodplain and wetland.  Comments are being accepted by the EDA Regional Office by August 24th.
