Governor Ned Lamont said in a news release that the proposal is necessary to help schools make infrastructure upgrades to combat the effects of Covid-19.
The proposal calls for spending $90 million in relief funds from the American Rescue Plan Act.
The program would require local governments to provide matching funds to receive a grant.
Examples of eligible projects:
Replacing, upgrading, or repairing boilers and other heating and ventilation components
Replacing controls and technology systems related to HVAC operations
Installing or upgrading air conditioning or ventilation systems
Other similar work approved by the commissioner of the Department of Administrative Services
