Building for the Future

New Britain's school construction and renovation projects are made possible through a strong partnership between the City of New Britain and the State of Connecticut. Through Connecticut's School Construction Grant Program, administered by the Department of Administrative Services (DAS), New Britain qualifies for one of the highest reimbursement rates in the state due to its economic profile.

Currently, the state reimburses 79.64% of eligible school construction and renovation costs, meaning Connecticut covers nearly 80 cents of every dollar spent on approved projects. This significant state investment allows New Britain to modernize aging school facilities, expand educational opportunities, and provide students with high-quality learning environments while minimizing the financial impact on local taxpayers.

By leveraging state funding, New Britain has successfully completed major projects across the district and continues to invest in facilities that will serve students, families, and the community for generations to come.

The School Building Committee is an appointed body to oversee school building projects authorized through Bond Funding as approved by the New Britain Common Council.
