An effort is underway to build a new memorial for all of the Bristol Police Officers who died in the line of duty, and it’s going to be built right in front of the police department headquarters on North Main Street. They hope to start construction as soon as they raise enough money. The project is expected to cost $300,000. A Fund has been established at MSCF for those interested in donating. Check out the news story here from NBC Connecticut.

Thanks to a $150,000 grant from the Bradley H. Barnes and Leila U. Barnes Memorial Trust at the Main Street Community Foundation a new innovative parenting group pilot program has launched as The Child & Family Development Program at UConn Health Southington.
