Rochford Field and Vilano Park Ground Breaking

We had a lovely ground breaking on a cold wet day to celebrate formal beginning to the total remediation and restoration of two of Hamden's most important parks, Rochford Field and Villano Park (formally know as Milrock Park). In attendance was Mayor Jackson the contractor (Guerrera Construction) and Engineer (Haley and Aldrich) and the HEDC Board. Also our friends at DEEP were there along with several notable's; Rep Brendan Sharkey and Senator Joe Crisco. We also had the honor of having former Rep.Peter Villano whose hard work helped to make the projects happen. Below is a picture of the groundbreaking as well as a picture of what the parks will look like in 2016. Stay tuned for updates on the progress.
