Fantastic Work by Ledyard Town Council: Grant Win!

Incredible work by Councilor Jessica Buhle and Town Council!
From Councilor Buhle:
"STEAP grant results were announced and Ledyard has been awarded a STEAP grant for $892,888 to replace and upgrade 4 playscapes in Ledyard, including an all new accessible and inclusive playscape at the Town Green.

Parks and Rec Director Scott Johnson and the Council worked very hard on a very short timeline to submit this application, and we were one of 48 towns in Connecticut awarded this grant in 2025 (out of over 100 eligible towns competing for 30 million dollars).

One of my personal goals in running for Council was to make sure we were doing our absolute best to seek out state and federal funding to improve our town, and I was heartbroken that there was not a STEAP grant in 2024, but 2025 is a great year!

I am so proud of this project and the potential it has to improve play and childhood in our town; it is a reflection of the values we have in our town and is a great investment in our community."
