Oxford Receives $500K for Agnes Schiavi Tetlak Park Upgrades

Funds will be put toward Phase I of the park renovation project.

The governor’s office announced a series of grants Monday under the state’s Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP), including $500,000 for Oxford’s Agnes Schiavi Tetlak Park.

Grants were awarded to 28 towns throughout Connecticut for the purpose of funding a variety of economic development, community conservation and quality-of-life projects.
 
“These small town grants allow the state to partner with municipalities on projects that will help improve our communities, rebuild our infrastructure, and create jobs,” Gov. Dannel Malloy said. “These are investments that will make our towns a better place to live and work, will increase the quality of life, and help attract economic development and growth.”
  
Oxford will receive a grant for $500,000 for the design, construction and completion of Phase I of the Agnes Schiavi Tetlak Park project, including excavation, site preparation, utility work and completion of an all-purpose athletic field. The overall project also includes building a pavilion on site.
