NEWS BRIEF Rovero welcomes arts grant for Quiet Corner State Rep. Danny Rovero (D-Killingly,Putnam, Thompson) welcomed a grant for northeast Connecticut from the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD). The Northeast Cultural Alliance received a grant totaling $30,000. A total of $3.15 million was distributed to 57 cities and towns through DECD’s Connecticut Office of the Arts and the State Historic Preservation Office. “It is critical to support the cultural, artistic and historic preserva- tion organizations so that they can achieve their goals and continue to add to Connecticut’s economic vitality and quality of life,” said Rovero. “I’m pleased DECD included this important group.” The grant program was designed to support local/regional allies of DECD/COA and establish a network of committed Local Arts Agencies helping to develop a statewide culture and tourism infrastructure to more effectively serve Connecticut’s citizens. The mission of the Northeast Cultural Alliance is to develop the regional arts and cultural community and to inspire its audience to enhance the region's quality of life and economic vitality through advocacy, education engagement and celebra- tion.
