The state has tagged $125,000 to fence off Goodwin Park and $150,000 to replace the roof on nonprofit Jubilee House, both in Hartford’s South End, authorities say.
Money for both projects is expected to be appropriated when the state Bond Commission meets next week, Gov. M. Jodi Rell said.
Founded in 1997, Jubilee House provides adult education and refugee assistance. Jubilee’s Clifford Street building is operated by the Sisters of St. Joseph.
The $125,000 in state funds to erect a perimeter fence around Goodwin Park will secure it from vandals, says State Sen. John Fonfara, D-Hartford.
