In the opinion of Bond Counsel, based on existing statutes, interest on the Bonds is excluded from Connecticut taxable income for purposes of the Connecticut income tax on individuals, trusts and estates, and is excluded from amounts on which the net Connecticut minimum tax is based in the case of individuals, trusts and estates required to pay the federal alternative minimum tax.

We are committed to fnding the path to yes—we don’t let challenges stop us short or prevent us from fnding a work- around to continue the work we do. Te health and safety of our employees and community comes frst—and after ensuring we had strong (and ever-adapting) safety protocols in place, HPL staf was able to fnd the path to restoring services, and even creating new ones! Tat is what makes HPL a place like no other—we fnd a way. We are resilient, fexible and ready to shift if and when we need to. We’re all ready to be back to whatever will be normal post-COVID.
