BP Members:
Exciting News Event in BPBCA – Please join in:
As you are aware, earlier this year the State of CT Port Authority awarded 2 very significant matching grants to BPBCA totaling $505,250. These grants will support the restoration of our piers and groins along our Eastern Shoreline, along with the construction of the Estuary Gateway Kayak Dock off of our property on Old Black Point Road. As the agreements that underscore these grants between the State, East Lyme, and BPBCA have been finalized, the State wants to immediately conduct a media event in recognition thereof.
So, the State has organized the following event, which will be attended by leaders from the Port Authority, East Lyme First Selectman, East Lyme Finance Director, our State Representative, etc.
