The City of Groton is making it easier to find fun things to do this summer with Summer in the City (SITC), a new program aimed at promoting local events and activities. SITC will celebrate the great place we live, work, and play by spreading the word about what is going on in the City this summer.

A published calendar and multi-media promotion will highlight the seasons activities, while a whole new website will have continuously updated listings of local events, large and small, including music, sports, historic tours and presentations, City-wide tag sale, and much more. You will also be able to find up-to-the-minute SITC information on Facebook.

To view the array of activities available for the whole family or for information on how to register an event, visit www.summerinthecitygroton.com.

The State of Connecticut has established a program to provide low interest loans to homeowners and business subject to coastal flooding. The funds are to be used to elevate homes and businesses in the VE or AE zones to help protect them from future storms and severe weather.

The program is called "SHORE UP CT". You can access more detailed information at www.ShoreUpCT.org or at the City Planner's office in the Municipal Building, 295 Meridian St.
