On October 12, 2022, Governor Ned Lamont announced that he approved $2 million in grant funding for the Pinnacle Transit-Oriented Development Infrastructure Project. The funding will be used primarily to repair sidewalks, manage stormwater, install crosswalks, underground utilities, and repave and stripe West Avenue, Merwin Street, Berkeley Street, Orchard Street, Butler Street, Quincy Street. The grant was awarded via a competitive state grant program that supports transit-oriented development and is targeted at boosting economic activity and creating jobs.

"This Transit-oriented development project and its accompanying infrastructure improvements will continue Norwalk's revitalization in its urban core, creating increased mobility for residents and a better environment for economic opportunities and jobs," said Brian Bidolli . "I thank Governor Lamont and our state legislators for all of their continued support of our Redevelopment efforts. 

"I applaud Governor Lamont for investing in Norwalk's critical transit-oriented infrastructure and thank Senate Majority Leader, Bob Duff, for his continued leadership in advocating to bring home funds to our City," said Mayor Rilling. "Our vision in Norwalk is to increase walkability and livability, while combatting the threats of Climate Change by investing in critical green infrastructure. Funding to install new crosswalks, repair many of our sidewalks and repave several streets within Norwalk's urban corridor will not only create jobs but will enhance safety and encourage more environmentally friendly modes of transportation such as walking and biking. These efforts will help reduce our carbon footprint and ensure Norwalk continues on the path of becoming a more sustainable place to live and work."
