Town of Sprague Connecticut

Baltic - Hanover - Versailles

The Town of Sprague was incorporated in 1861. We are comprised of three pristine villages, Baltic, Hanover, and Versailles, which make up Sprague, a picture-postcard turn-of-the-century mill town. We are the only town in the area that can boast three post offices: one in Baltic, one in Hanover and one in Versailles. We are known for our great salmon fishing, canoeing and picturesque woods. Our little town is clustered around the banks of the Shetucket River, which flows from Willimantic to Norwich .

An official seal was ordered and drawn for the Town of Sprague in April 1961, its Centennial Year. The drawing of the seal contains a circle, having in the center a sketch of the Sprague Gristmill with its nearby fields for farming. Progress is designated by the seven smokestacks, representing the industrial factories of the town. Advancement in transportation is shown by the horse and buggy and the jet plane. Religious integrity and freedom is noted by the church steeple. The friendly relations among the nationalities is depicted by the people drawn in the sketch. The advancement Sprague has strived to maintain since its incorporation in 1861 is summed up by its motto, PROGRESSIVE AND GRACIOUS LIVING, which is lettered in the frame of the seal.

Double Bracket: July 2, 2009: REP. COURTNEY ANNOUNCES $2.8 MILLION IN RECOVERY FUNDS, LOANS FOR COMMUNITY FACILITIES IN EASTERN CONNECTICUT
Washington, DC -- Congressman Joe Courtney announced today that four area towns will share more than $2.8 million in grant and loan funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). These projects are part of $63.8 million for rural development community facilities funding announced today by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack.
The funding announced today will provide $2,831,436 in loans and grants to projects in Union, Killingly, Sprague, and Thompson.
“Communities in Connecticut are facing significant financial challenges during this economic downturn, but none more than our rural areas," said Courtney. "These funds will bring new jobs, improve infrastructure and create future economic opportunities for the area and are further proof that the ARRA is working to put our economy back on track.”
“All of these projects are extremely urgent, each in its own way,” noted Sprague first Selectman Cathy Osten. “With USDA’s assistance we’ve managed to address a broad range of needs in the community that otherwise couldn’t have been funded. This type of funding has allowed Sprague to leverage other funds and make lots of things happen, that really improve the quality of people’s lives.”
In total, Sprague will receive $107,436 for four town priorities: $3,500 for insuring that the wastewater treatment plant/filtration facilities are secure, $90,700 for improvements to the LaCroix Road bridge, which has been a town priority since 1990, $1,217 for new appliances at the senior center that will help provide better meals and $12,019 to repair and expand the Town Clerk’s records vault and archive at town hall.
Rep. Courtney was a strong supporter of The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which President Barack Obama signed into law on Feb. 17, 2009. This legislation was designed to jumpstart the nation's economy, create or save millions of jobs and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in the 21st century. The Act included measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need.
