On October 23, 2024 Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont, Greenwich First Selectman Fred Camillo, and the Greenwich delegation joined Cristina Vittoria, Chief Executive Officer of Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich, to break ground on the expansion and renovation of the BGCG Clubhouse located at 4 Horseneck Lane. “Today we break ground not only on the physical structure but on the promise of endless possibilities, growth, and transformative experiences for the children and young people who call this place their home away from home,” said Vittoria. “This marks a significant milestone in our commitment to Building Great Futures for the youth of Greenwich. Renovating and expanding our Club is of paramount importance, as it serves as a beacon of hope and opportunity for countless young people in our community.”
The Club was able to jump-start the construction project thanks to Governor Lamont and Greenwich’s statehouse delegation, who were instrumental in helping secure $6.5 million in state bond funding to support this project.
“Boys & Girls Club has been an indispensable part of the community for many years, and I am pleased we are able to help with funding for expansion and renovations to enhance services. I am looking forward to the work ahead and thank our governor and leadership for prioritizing this item on the agenda,” said Steve Meskers, Connecticut State Representative for the 150th District.
Founded in 1910 and built in the 1930s, BGCG’s Clubhouse has served thousands of young people in the course of its history. This marks the organization’s first major renovation project in nearly 20 years.
