New Haven Receives Fed Grant to Plan Ways to Reconnect Areas Split By I-91
Removing physical barriers around Interstate 91, restoring pedestrian routes and building housing could be some of the ways New Haven, Conn., officials hope to reconnect the city where it was divided by the freeway in the 1960s.
The Stamford Advocate reported that six city neighborhoods would benefit from the I-91 Neighborhood Reconnection Initiative to knit together areas of New Haven that were separated. The effort is federally funded by the
Reconnecting Communities Pilot grant program. City leaders and elected federal representatives on Jan. 27 laid out some of what the city hopes to learn from a planning process to be aided by the $2 million federal grant.
Areas involved include State Street, Union Station, Long Wharf, Audubon Street, Wooster Square, the parts of the city

Report Details Costly Work Needed at Bennington Monument
An engineering assessment of the Bennington Monument in the village of Old Bennington, Vt., poses a challenge not unlike the one that drew hundreds of Patriots to this area in 1777 to fend off a British attack.
This time, however, the enemy is not a contingent of Hessian or British soldiers but a joltingly high estimate for what is envisioned as a multi-year project to restore and preserve the 306-ft. stone obelisk into the future.
The Bennington Banner reported Feb. 10 that in briefing state lawmakers, preservation officials have referred to a total cost estimate of roughly $40 million to reverse weather-related damage and up to $10 million just to enclose the structure and dry out the stone blocks to allow maintenance and repair work.
“It is truly a monumental project,” said state Rep. Mary Morrissey, a member of the Vermont House Committee on Corrections and Institutions, which heard from the state preservationists earlier in Feb.
She said it is likely the local delegation will meet or otherwise discuss the situation, which could negatively affect the historic monument and its significance to both Bennington and Vt.
Built in the late 1880s and dedicated in 1891, the Bennington Monument commemorates a pivotal victory for American forces during the Revolutionary War. On Aug. 16, 1777, Vt.’s Green Mountain Boys, the N.H. Militia and volunteers from Mass. combined to defeat British troops charged with capturing provisions stored at the Bennington military supply depot, located on the site where the monument stands today.
Obelisk’s Stone Work ‘Saturated’ With Water
A report released in January 2025 by a team of engineering firms working with the state to identify the problems and pose the next steps represents the second phase of the process, the Banner noted.
Earlier, phase one involved assessing the severity of the damage such as cracks in the stones and loss of grout between the blocks, along with deterioration of stairs and other features inside the monument.
Stevens & Associates in Brattleboro, Easton Architects, based in New York City; and Silman Structural Solutions (now part of TYLin) are working with the Vermont Department of Building and General Services to lead the preservation, restoration and conservation project.
According to the recent report, “The primary objective of phase two was to complete additional recommended scopes of work to further identify the architectural, material and engineering conditions of the [Bennington] Monument as it stands today.”
The comprehensive study included:
• in-depth stone testing and mortar analysis,
• extraction of stone cores and samples,
• petrography,
• a building enclosure and hygrothermal review,
• a mechanical engineering preliminary assessment,
• water infiltration and IR testing,
• an architectural preservation review and analysis,
• masonry strength testing,
• a structural finite element analysis,
• a lightning protection and grounding assessment,
• a preliminary geotechnical investigation,
• additional electronic crack and moisture monitoring, and
• a non-destructive evaluation carried out via rope access for documentation.

An engineering assessment of the Bennington Monument in the village of Old Bennington, Vt., poses a challenge.
The condition of the stone blocks used in the construction of the monument more than 135 years ago was a prime focus of the assessment, the Bennington news source added. According to the just released phase two report, the stones have absorbed thousands of gallons of water, which has resulted in damage and deterioration to the obelisk. The
study noted that tests determined the structure’s walls are “saturated” with moisture.
“The original stone used to construct the monument may not have been the optimal choice for this type of structure,” the analysis read. “The stone was identified as dolomitic stone and is a harder and stronger stone than calciferous limestone, but it is nevertheless a sedimentary stone that is porous and permeable, [making it] susceptible to moisture migration and freeze-thaw damage.”
In addition, the engineering study noted, “We recognize that this is not something that can be changed about the monument. Preliminary analysis suggests that the strength properties of this stone may not be a primary concern, but rather the vulnerability of the stone to moisture-related processes will need to be further understood to identify an effective restoration strategy.”
Past Repairs Have Proven to Be Substandard
Numerous repair efforts have been performed on the Bennington Monument dating as early as 1907 to address persistent issues of humidity, water infiltration and moisture inside the obelisk, the engineering team said.
They added that until the phase one study, completed in 2022, there had not been a full assessment of the structure “to understand the mechanisms of deterioration of the masonry walls.” Nor had there been any “testing and analysis of materials in order to develop appropriate repair techniques and perform effective, full-scale repairs.”
Previous repointing and mortar repair work “focused on the exterior and interior of the upper third of the monument,” the report continued, while some replacement mortars used “were too hard for the masonry, leading to cracking,” and the work “did not meet contemporary conservation standards, particularly caulk repairs, and hard cementitious repairs.”
Many of the structure’s cracks were previously repaired by in-filling with a bead of sealant. Other fixes included cementitious mortar repairs in wider cracks and epoxy injection repairs in narrower ones.
Experts also reported that the monument has no heating, ventilation, or air conditioning systems within it, although an old, unused steam-fed heating system still exists.
Steps Recommended to Dry, Repair Monument
The Banner noted that among the recommendations in the phase two report are adding dehumidification and ventilation systems to dry the stone tower’s interior, install a heat source, such as a fuel-fired boiler located off site that would pump steam or hot water to the structure, along with geothermal heat pumps.
Designing the recommended weather-tight obelisk enclosure to allow for drying the structure and performing repairs has been estimated to cost from $5 million to $10 million, part of the estimated $40 million to fully restore and preserve the Bennington Monument.
The enclosure, once designed, is estimated to require eight to 12 months to install and would be in place from three to six years.
Addressing the monument’s condition, state Sen. Rob Plunkett said, “I think it is important to emphasize that there is no imminent peril, but dedicating ourselves to finding a path to funding the project is crucial.”
Plunkett also serves as vice chair of the Senate Committee on Institutions, which considers issues concerning state lands and buildings. CEG

Taunton, Chicopee Reach Major Milestones in City Projects
The city of Taunton, Mass., celebrated a major milestone in the construction of its new Public Safety Complex late in 2024 with a steel topping-off ceremony late 2024. Municipal officials were joined at the onsite event by the contractor, Waltham-based CTA Construction Managers.
They gathered at the ceremony to mark the placement of the final steel beam on the 62,000 sq.-ft., two-story facility, which will house Taunton’s police and fire administration, equipment bays, a sallyport, booking and holding cells, utility rooms, sleeping quarters and shared spaces. The project also includes a 16,000 sq.-ft. operations support structure.
Designed by Caolo & Bieniek Architects in Chicopee, Mass., the public safety complex reflects a state-of-the-art safety infrastructure built for efficient public service. The architectural firm and CTA previously teamed up on the award-winning University of Massachusetts Police Headquarters in Amherst, Mass.
“The topping-off ceremony represents significant progress in realizing a facility that will serve the community for decades,” said Jim Hanifan, vice president of Caolo & Bieniek Architects. “We’re proud to contribute to this modern, functional space designed to meet the critical needs of Taunton’s public safety teams.”
Project manager Daniel Pallotta of P3 Inc. in Norwell, Mass., praised the collaboration and effort involved in constructing the Taunton public safety complex.
“This project has been a model of teamwork and dedication,” he said. “The new complex is a testament to Taunton’s investment in public safety and community resilience. As well as placing the final steel beam, the team recently completed the roofing installation — a critical milestone to weatherproof the building, protecting it from the elements and allow interior construction such as mechanical and electrical work to continue uninterrupted during the rest of the winter months.”
Taunton Mayor Shaunna O’Connell highlighted the importance of the new facility in meeting the growing demands of the community.
“This is not just a building; it’s a commitment to the safety and well-being of Taunton’s residents and first responders,” she said. “We’re thrilled to see it taking shape.”
The complex was designed to enhance operational efficiency, foster collaboration between police and fire departments and accommodate future growth, according to CTA. In addition, the building’s modern amenities are expected to set a new standard for public safety infrastructure in the region.
Construction is on track for completion by the end of 2025 with the facility anticipated to be fully operational shortly thereafter.
CTA Construction Managers is an award-winning construction management and general contracting firm specializing in municipal, academic, multi-family residential, commercial and senior care facilities. Its portfolio of projects totals over $1.7 billion.
Founded in 2000, CTA has awarded more than $100 million in contracts to certified small, disadvantaged, minority- and womenowned partners. The firm also is a leader in green building, helping numerous clients build sustainably and meet LEED and MACHPS standards, the latter of which are design and construction strategies proven to yield high-performance schools in Mass.
Second Phase of Chicopee City Hall Renovations to Start Soon
Officials in Chicopee have announced that construction on the second phase of improvements to their City Hall and the City Hall Annex are set to begin, which will lead to a temporary access plan for people wanting to visit the building.
The work is expected to be ongoing for the next 36 months and will result in temporary impacts on pedestrian circulation surrounding the buildings on Springfield and Front streets, according to The Reminder, an online news source serving several small communities in western Mass.
Chicopee has been working on modernizing its city hall through two phases of reno-
vation. Both the city’s facilities and planning and development departments have been overseeing the construction project since its start.
A historic structures report conducted in April 2016 recommended multi-phase improvements to the City Hall auditorium, as well as to its exterior. In addition, work was commissioned to upgrade the complex’s sitework, the exterior of the annex, make all interior renovations, modernize the elevator system and perform long-term maintenance.
Phase 1 renovations included an array of interior and exterior repairs such as repairing damage to the City Hall Annex, solidifying foundational repairs, improving the main building’s installation, replacing HVAC equipment and modernizing it for accessibility purposes.
Chicopee City Hall’s famed clock tower also underwent extensive repairs.
The focus of Phase 2 will be on interior improvements, noted the Reminder, such as remodeled office suites, enhanced security and technology services and renovations to the City Council’s chamber on the fourth floor.
Chicopee Facilities Director Dave Rice said that some of the major deficiencies in the building included an aged and difficult generator, deteriorating wallpaper, water damage to walls, floors and carpets, a nonoperational ADA compliant vertical lift and various electrical issues.
As part of Phase 2, crews also will work to:
• reconfigure and renovate City Hall’s
office suites,
• make ADA accessible upgrades,
• perform hazardous materials abatement and more.
Lee Pouliot, Chicopee’s municipal planner, said the office suite renovations will be split into multiple phases because City Hall will not be vacated during the construction.
Mayor John Vieau and the city council hosted a special meeting August 2024 to discuss funding for the upcoming renovation phase. As a result, council members approved two orders from Vieau — one for a City Hall Phase 2 bond authorization and another for a $4 million cash appropriation to a capital projects special account.
Vieau said the finance team met multiple times to figure out the impact this project would have on Chicopee and said at the time that the city had approximately $21 million in the stabilization account.
“We’re in excellent financial shape,” he said, although he added, “we will aggressively be looking for grant opportunities over the next few years.”
In speaking with The Reminder, Vieau talked about the need to let the community know about the construction.
“This plan is being shared with the community to ensure that residents and visitors to Chicopee Center and City Hall are aware of these temporary measures to ensure public safety during construction. The city recognizes that construction can be disruptive, and our team is working diligently to minimize and plan accordingly for such disruptions.” CEG

Despite Grant, Reconnecting I-91 Still Needs Additional Funds
around I-91’s Trumbull Street and Willow Street exits, the Mill River District and the East Rock and Fair Haven sections, the Advocate learned.
U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D), who represents Connecticut’s 3rd District, said the new project gives New Haven the chance to correct “past evils.” Her parents were once involved in mobilizing Wooster Square residents to change the original I-91 plans to preserve more of the historic area.
Among the things to be studied are ways to mitigate the impact of I-91 and reconnect communities separated by its construction and continued existence.
“Every single resident deserves to have access to vibrant public spaces,” DeLauro explained. “It’s about economic development ... Ultimately, this is a project that restores physical and cultural bonds.”
The stretch of I-91 from Meriden south to New Haven connected the highway to the I95/Connecticut Turnpike when it was opened in January 1966, noted the New Haven Register. Along the way, it cut Wooster Square in half and separated that area, East Rock, and the State Street corridor from the Mill River area and Fair Haven.
The I-91/I-95 interchange also severed downtown New Haven from Long Wharf and the Hill, something the city has been trying to rectify with its separate Downtown Crossing project.
The proposed new effort would reconnect areas east of central New Haven in a fashion similar to the way the Downtown Crossing
project has been reconnecting areas on both sides of Connecticut Highway 34, which aims to undo damage that split the Hill section from Downtown New Haven when Conn. 34 was built, according to Michael Piscitelli, the city’s economic development administrator.
“It is now time to look east,” he noted.
Among the things to be studied are ways to mitigate the impact of I-91 and reconnect communities separated by its construction and continued existence, officials said.
The kinds of problems the project aims to repair are not limited to New Haven, explained Mayor Justin Elicker, who added, “Historically, cities have been torn apart by the construction of highways.”
The focus, he said, is to reunite areas that were separated by I-91’s construction and the city will be “imagining in this study what reconnecting old neighborhoods that were cut off from one another would be like.”
In addition, community engagement will
be a key component of the planning study.
“Many of the residents who were affected by those decisions [prior to I-91’s construction] did not have input into those decisions during the urban renewal era,” said Laura Brown, executive director of New Haven’s planning department.
The study “will result in specific, actionable plans to reconnect neighborhoods that were affected” by the original 1960s construction, she noted. Among the things Brown said she expects are a plan to rework the Willow Street highway exit to allow the city to use some of the land that is now locked-up, as well as the installation of lights beneath I91’s underpasses.
Arlevia Samuel, New Haven’s deputy economic development administrator for housing and development Arlevia Samuel sees the project as one that “actually has a lot to do with housing” and will help the city identify new opportunities.
Additional Funding to Begin Project Could Be in Jeopardy
Connecticut U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D) told the Stamford news source that the project expected to come out of the New Haven planning process would reinvigorate and reimagine affected areas of the city.
However, Blumenthal also noted that the planning grant would be of limited value
without the money to implement it and pointed out that it “will require funding that right now is in jeopardy.”
“This is a national initiative, and New Haven is leading the way, but it will be for naught” unless funding is put in place to implement its recommendations, he warned.
Alder Carmen Rodriguez, D-6th Ward, who represents parts of the Hill, City Point, Long Wharf, and the city’s downtown, added that local officials want to see a New Haven where everyone can work, get educated and be successful.
“Today, I-91 often serves as a barrier for New Haveners living near or attempting to travel on streets cut off by the highway,” she said in a press release. “The $2 million grant, which is accompanied by at least a 20 percent local match, will fund planning, zoning and housing analysis efforts, and community visioning and engagement efforts that center the input and experiences of New Haven.”
It also will incorporate other initiatives along the I-91 corridor, including the Mill River Trail, Long Wharf Responsible Growth Plan and another Mill River plan, according to the Stamford Advocate.
The Reconnecting Communities Pilot grant program is funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation via the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. It seeks to advance community-centered transportation projects with a focus on reconnecting communities harmed by past transportation infrastructure decisions.
Long-Awaited Flood Mitigation Work Begins at Conn. School
A construction project aimed at mitigating problems with flooding at a Connecticut high school’s sports complex began Feb. 3, the Norwalk Hour reported.
Wilton's Public Works Director Frank Smeriglio brought forth the initial plans for the project in April 2022 after Hurricane Ida damaged Wilton High School’s turf football field and new track the year before, a project that had cost the town $1 million to complete.
In 2023, Wilton municipal officials received $1.425 million as part of a federal Housing and Urban Development grant to build a concrete retaining wall to prevent flooding from the stream behind the school’s sports complex. In addition, the funding also would pay for the cost to install a drainage system designed to divert water from the stream to nearby Cider Mill Pond, according to the proposal.
Then, the track at Wilton High School’s Veterans Memorial Field was damaged
again last summer after torrential rain and widespread flooding devastated parts of Connecticut and resulted in three deaths. The Wilton town board approved $175,000 in September to repair the track while the bidding and approval process for the project continued.
A few days prior to the construction’s kickoff, Smeriglio told the Hour that the town had already started to mobilize on the project.
“We’ve all been concerned about getting this started as soon as possible before we have another major rain event,” said Joshua Cole, a member of the Wilton Board of Selectmen at its Jan. 21 meeting.
Dayton Construction in Watertown, Conn. secured the bid for the flood mitigation project at the session.
According to the Hour, Smeriglio told town officials that the bids were higher than expected, resulting in a decrease in the contingency budget, which covers any inciden-
tal costs accrued throughout construction.
The funding proposal shows a cut from $200,408 to $63,670 in the amount allotted for contingencies, the newspaper reported.
“Contingency is an issue with any project,” Smeriglio said, but added that he always tries to give the town board an idea of what to expect when it comes to extra costs.
Despite the higher-than-anticipated figures, Dayton Construction held the lowest bid, he told Wilton officials.
“This is the first phase [of the project],” he noted, “but we have to finish in time for the high school sports season.”
The initial part of the flood mitigation at Wilton High is scheduled to be completed by March 15 and will include the installation of a retaining wall and berm adjacent to the football field, Smeriglio told the Hour in an email.
“We also plan to conduct utility test pits to locate existing utilities needed for Phase Two work,” he wrote.
Construction on that phase of work is slated to start just after Wilton’s Fourth of July celebration. It will include installing an elliptical drainage pipe on the north side of the field that will connect the stream to Cider Mill Pond, Smeriglio said.
The town’s proposal calls for the entire project to be completed by Oct. 1.
Questions posed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) slowed the permitting process for Phase Two, but Smeriglio said Wilton town leaders have time before the start of that work to go through the federal agency’s queries and supply it with answers.
He admitted, though, that the USACE requires “so many environmental permits.”
But the USACE, along with several other agencies, Smeriglio said, is responsible for environmental protection and its questions have focused primarily on the location of the pipe to be installed in the second phase of work at the high school sports complex.

Avant Equipment Aids Cranberry Harvesting Operation
CRANBERRIES from page 1
various other companies. This extensive operation employs 35 people, making it the second-largest cranberry grower in Massachusetts. The company is geographically diverse, with locations in Middleborough, Lakeville, Carver, Plympton, Halifax, Hanson, East Bridgewater, East Taunton and Rochester.
Hannula said cranberries are more than the traditional Thanksgiving side dish.
“Cranberries are a unique fruit with a variety of uses, including cranberry juice, fresh or raw cranberries, sweet and dried cranberries for trail mixes and nutraceuticals for health benefits,” he said.
The cranberry industry is relatively small, with approximately 75,000 to 80,000 acres worldwide. Over the years, Oiva Hannula & Sons has adapted to technological advancements in cranberry harvesting, moving from manual picking to water harvesting and the use of advanced machinery.
The company has faced many challenges over the years including the COVID-19 pandemic but has managed to weather the storm by maintaining employees and building a parts warehouse to combat supply chain issues.
Keeping up with technology and reinvesting in the company is critical to the operations future.
To help with cranberry harvesting, the company recently purchased an Avant 760 compact loader from Alta Equipment. Contrary to what many may think based on photos and cranberry juice commercials, cranberries are not grown underwater; rather, they grow from a vine above ground like many other berry varieties, but flooding the cranberry fields or bogs and harvesting the floating berries from the surface of the water is the currently excepted way of harvesting.
Hannula particularly values the Avant 760 for its lightweight nature and the power it provides, making it a perfect fit for the farms’ operations, He also appreciates its ground clearance and the ability to modify the machine to fit the company’s applications. The Avant’s various tire options and the ability to adapt it for different tasks made it a valuable investment for the company.
For example, Hannula was able to lift the machine and add larger tires to improve its ground clearance.
“The machine’s low impact on the ground and its ability to traverse sensitive vines without causing damage were significant factors in our decision to purchase the Avant 760,” he said.
Oiva Hannula & Sons made several modifications to the Avant machine to better suit its needs. One of the primary changes was addressing the ground clearance issue.
“The original ground clearance of the machine was too short for typical applications,” Hannula said. “To resolve this, we noticed that the machine had four hydrostatic drive motors at all four corners to drive the wheels, so we decided to separate these motors from the chassis and lift the machine and had a machine shop fabricate some lengthy plates, giving the machine an 18-inch lift kit. Then, we added 25-inch-wide by 40-inch-high tires, which significantly improved the ground clearance.”
The company chose LSW 430 tires, which are commonly used in golf course applications. These tires provide low impact and low ground pressure, which is beneficial for the sensitive cranberry vines. The least amount of spin and tracking helps protect the crop for the next year.
The Avant 760 also has several different drive modes, including an unlocked version (one-wheel drive); a locked version (typical four-wheel or two-wheel drive); and a full-lock scenario. This versatility in drive modes was another reason Hannula chose the Avant.
Oiva Hannula & Sons has a strong relationship with Alta Equipment, which has been instrumental in its operations. Derrick Swim, regional sales representative of Alta Equipment, has been the company’s go-to person for any needs or issues.
“Derrick [Swim] has been highly responsive, always providing immediate answers to calls, e-mails or texts,” Hannula said. “We have greatly appreciated this level of service, and as a result, we’ve started to look at other product lines offered by Alta Equipment.”
An example of this service was when the company needed a new fuel cap.
“Derrick was at the dealership and, upon discovering that the new fuel cap was not available, he took one off another machine to ensure we could continue their operations without delay,” Hannula said. “This kind of dedication and quick problem-solving has solidified our trust in Derrick and Alta Equipment.”
Hannula has been so satisfied with the Avant 760 that he purchased a second Avant 760; he also has shared his positive experiences about the Avant and recommended it to others in the industry.
Oiva Hannula & Sons’ future continues to look promising and successful not only because of potential consolidation in the cranberry industry but also because of choosing the right equipment to keep his operations running smoothly and productively (and keeping those cranberries on Thanksgiving Day tables and more).

A relatively common misconception about cranberries is that they grow on the surface of the water. Instead, they grow on vines just like any other berry and the bog is flooded to raise the berries to the surface for harvesting.
Oiva Hannula & Sons appreciates the Avant 760’s ground clearance and the ability to modify the machine to fit the company’s applications.
