Officials from Area Congregations Together broke ground for their new Spooner House Homeless Shelter on Shelton on Feb. 8, 2007. Win Oppel, Chairman of the Board, and Susan Agamy, Executive Director, accepted a $20,000 check from Valley United Way Board Chair Ruth Parkins and another $10,000 from David M. Grant and the Grant Family Fund at the Valley Community Foundation.
Other speakers at the ceremony included State Representative Dick Belden, Shelton Mayor Mark Lauretti, Derby Mayor Anthony Staffieri and Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce President Bill Purcell.
The shelter is expected to be completed in spring, 2008.
