Bridge Bucks Program
The Middlesex County Revitalization Commission administers a new two-year funding program for retail, retail services, and restaurant businesses in East Haddam and Haddam. The Bridge Bucks program is a fun way to encourage customers to revisit the businesses affected by the Swing Bridge closures and rotary construction on Route 154.
Applications opened on March 11, 2024, and are approved on a rolling basis.
Working collaboratively to encourage growth.
The Middlesex County Revitalization Commission (MCRC) represents the 15 cities and towns in Middlesex County.
As a whole, the County is home to businesses in every industry—manufacturing, healthcare, retail, hospitality, fintech, the arts, marine, professional services, education, food and beverage, agriculture, and tourism—yet each municipality is unique in its history, government structure, and business communities.
MCRC is comprised of the chief executive official, or their delegate, from each of the municipalities, along with the Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce, working collaboratively to further the mission of encouraging business growth and stimulating economic development through a broad range of services and resources.
