Woodbridge awarded $1 million congressional grant for emergency operations center

First Selectman Mika announced June 18 that Woodbridge has been awarded a $1,000,000 congressional grant, secured through Rep. Rosa DeLauro, to outfit the Police Department’s Emergency Operations Center.

"We received a $1,000,000 congressional grant that was awarded through Rosa DeLauro for our Police Department, Emergency Operations Center," Mika said. He described the grant as enabling the town to outfit the multiuse room as a true emergency operations center and as providing initial funding to tie that project into broader town efforts.

Mika said the funding gives the town resources to start the project and that additional planning will follow. No procurement decisions were taken at the meeting; the town expects further project details and next steps to be discussed in upcoming meetings.
