Bridge Bucks Program

The Bridge Bucks program, funded by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development and administered by the Middlesex County Revitalization Commission, is a two-year initiative aimed at supporting retail, retail services, and restaurant businesses in East Haddam and Haddam. The program offers $10 Bridge Bucks coupons to incentivize customer returns, mitigating revenue loss due to disruptions from the Swing Bridge closures and Route 154 construction. Participating businesses can apply to receive up to $750 annually, with applications opening on March 11, 2024. The program operates through 2025, distributing 50% of its funding in the first year.
