|
Municipal officials are applying for a $5,000 grant to help pay for the cleanup and maintenance of neglected cemeteries in New Canaan. The deadline for the state’s 2025 Neglected Cemetery Account Grant Program is Feb. 13. The town two years ago received $2,000 under the program, and $5,000 last year, officials said at the Board of Selectmen’s most recent meeting. The grant would be used at nine cemeteries in New Canaan, according to Joe Zagarenski, senior engineer in the Department of Public Works.
