New Haven Mayor Focuses on Reconnecting City, $16M TIGER Grant Awarded to Remove Highway

Route 34 in New Haven, CT was never completed. In the late 1960's the state took 26 acres of land in central New Haven, displaced 600 families and 65 businesses and disconnected the neighborhoods of central New Haven. Now the city has successfully applied for a TIGER II grant and will receive $16M to begin removing the limited access highway.
