PROTECT COMMUNITY INVESTMENT ACT FUNDS!

WLA opposes Governor Rell’s proposal to eliminate $12 million from the Community Investment Account in 2010 and 2011.  This will have a devastating impact on farmland preservation funding, state program staffing and efficiency, and will eliminate the popular Agriculture Viability Grants program and many services of the CT-Grown marketing program.  WLA urges all coalition members to sign up for Email Updates to receive news about this critical effort to protect the Community Investment Act!
