Neighborhood Assistance Act Tax Credit Program

We have been notified by the State Department of Revenue Services that the four applications from Windsor-based organizations have been approved for participation in the Neighborhood Assistance Act (NAA) Tax Credit Program. The organizations and the corresponding dollar amounts of their requests are as follows:

Celebrate Windsor $150,000.00
Connecticut Radio Information System $50,000.00
Foodshare, Inc. $50,000.00
Huntington House $50,000.00

The NAA Program offers qualified businesses a 60% tax credit against their corporate tax liability for contributions made to participating organizations. Certain restrictions apply. Businesses need to submit an application between September 15th and October 1, 2004.

 

Route 218 and Columbia Road

The Department of Transportation has informed us that site work and the installation of the traffic signal can not be initiated until CL&P, SBC, and other utilities relocate their lines. The new utility poles have been set, but the DOT has not yet received a commitment date from the above utilities regarding when they will be moving their lines. However, it is anticipated by the DOT that utility relocation work will be completed in September and then the DOT will initiate site work and signal installation.
