NORWICH - Assemblyman Joseph Angelino (R,C-Norwich) announced that the Sidney Memorial Public Library in Assembly District 121 has been allocated approximately $225,000 in state aid for library construction funds.

The funds are from capital funds for public library construction and broadband infrastructure projects provided in the State Budget and will help with projects such as roof replacement, the purchase and installation of alternative energy resources, new HVAC systems, windows, doors, lighting systems, electrical upgrades, electric vehicle charging stations, standby generators and the new construction or replacement of parking lots. Broadband infrastructure projects are also eligible for this funding.

“These funds will go a long way toward helping renovate our library buildings, upgrade facilities and public spaces and improve accessibility for everyone in the community. I am looking forward to seeing these important renovation and improvement projects completed. Our public libraries deserve our care and support,” said Angelino.
