Hartford City Council Accepts $225,000 State Grant for Cemetery Restoration
What happened
The Hartford City Council voted to accept two state grants totaling $225,000 for restoration projects in Hartford. The funds, which include $150,000 from the Urban Act Grant Program and $75,000 administered by the Office of Policy and Management, are designated for restoring Spring Grove Cemetery. Once the funds are dispersed, the city’s Department of Public Works will issue a request for proposal to hire a landscaping company, with work expected to begin in 2027.

Why it matters
The acceptance of the state grants obligates the state to disperse the funds for the historic cemetery restoration. This process will lead to the Department of Public Works initiating a bidding process to contract landscaping services for the project.
