Sustainable Spaces for Family Learning: KidsPlay’s 2024 Neighborhood Assistance Act Project

We’re approved!

KidsPlay is pleased to announce that the State of Connecticut has approved its 2024 State of Connecticut Neighborhood Assistance Act (NAA) project. The NAA program provides a strategic opportunity for certain Connecticut businesses to lend critical support to community organizations. It allows businesses to apply for a tax credit equal to 100% of funds invested in this energy conservation project. 

KidsPlay is requesting support for this year’s proposed NAA project, “Sustainable Spaces for Family Learning.” This project is a continuation of KidsPlay’s past successful Neighborhood Assistance Act projects. These have made the Museum more energy efficient and sustainable through the support of Connecticut businesses.

This new effort will fund:

  • Replacing the failing roof of 61 Main Street to improve insulation, reduce heating costs, and protect other improvements.
  • Replacing the windows on the second level of KidsPlay’s main building, 61 Main Street, and a rear window of 57 Main Street with new, energy-efficient ones.
  • If fully funded, this project may also include replacing inefficient HVAC systems.

Our partners help KidsPlay to be a sustainable anchor in downtown Torrington. Through their support, the Museum will serve children and families for generations to come. By supporting this project, you can bring the benefits of a world-class children’s museum to families throughout our region.

Please reach out by email at development@kidsplaymuseum.org or by phone at (860) 618-7700 to set up an exploratory conversation or tour.

Join us in making a lasting impact on the lives of children and families in Northwest Connecticut through the Neighborhood Assistance Act!
