Ledyard, Conn. — Ledyard will receive a $100,000 federal grant to promote a stronger relationship between town businesses and the Naval submarine base in Groton.

U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, announced the grant Thursday. The money, from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration, will help fund the planning and feasibility studies for an industrial park in Ledyard, near the base.

“The EDA award will allow planning to go forward for a project that is a key component of the community's economic development strategy,” Ledyard Planning Director Brian Palaia said.
