New London Celebrates Funding for $40 Million Community Recreation Center

April 19, 2023

In 2020 when leaders in the city of New London, CT decided it was time to address their community’s lack of recreation spaces, they reached out to B&D. In the years since, under the stewardship of our own Greg Benson, B&D has led the development process for a transformational new community recreation center that aligns with New London’s goals and serves the local population. Recently, city leaders gathered to celebrate the funding of the $40 million facility. You can read an excerpt of the article below, or read the full piece here.

New London leaders gathered Tuesday to celebrate funding for the city’s $40 million community recreation center. The center, which will be built on a parcel on Walbach Street, is expected to bring much-needed resources to the city.

“I envision a space that will change the lives of many for generations to come,” said Felix Reyes, New London’s director of development and planning.

New London has been without a public recreation space for years, according to city leaders. They said that the community center will fulfill a “multi-generational dream.”

"The leadership and information from B&D, and the clarity with which they provide it, brings added credibility to the process and ensures that a range of university stakeholders, including senior leadership and our board, are fully informed for – and confident in – their required decision making.”
