The town of Cuyler has received a $50,000 state grant to renovate the town’s old railroad depot for use as the town office, Assembly Member Jeff Gallahan (R-Manchester) has announced.
“This community is home to a strong, close-knit community with a rich history and deep connection to its past. Historic conservation and adaptive reuse are important to the town’s leadership, who are focused on preserving their heritage for generations to come,” Gallahan said in a release. “I am proud to have secured this funding, which will go a long way towards enabling the town to better serve its residents and realize its long-term vision.”
The money from the state Community Resiliency, Economic Sustainability, and Technology Program will be used to add spray insulation and wiring to the facility. Besides housing the town office, the building will host public meetings, educational presentations and cultural events.
“Securing this grant is a major step forward for the Town of Cuyler. Restoring and repurposing the old Train Depot into a functional Town Office ensures that we can better serve our residents while preserving an important part of our town’s history,” said Town of Cuyler Supervisor Lou Anne Randall.
