“As vice chair of the Energy and Technology Committee, I'm especially pleased with the solar panel installation on the pavilion roof,” said Rep. Steinberg. “I want to thank Governor Malloy for his commitment to Connecticut's first state park, which we are lucky to enjoy here in Westport.”
The main pavilion was originally built in 1961. The funding being requested will allow the Department of Construction Services, in conjunction with the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP), to install a new roof on the pavilion along with solar panels for electricity and hot water. In addition, the plumbing and bathroom facilities will be updated, upgrades will be made to the concession area, and necessary site landscaping will be completed.
