AARP Connecticut will be awarding grants this year to help cities, towns and nonprofits make their communities more livable.
It’s a state-level initiative that expands on the national AARP Community Challenge grant program; both fund quick-turnaround projects that aim to improve pedestrian safety, beautify public spaces and expand affordable housing, among other goals.
In Connecticut, the 2023 funded projects included a free outdoor library, a food pantry, an oral history project and social events for veterans.
