18 Hartford Business Journal • February 22, 2016 www.HartfordBusiness.com A $1.5 million grant from the state will make it possible for Canton nonprofit Favarh to construct a new building to sup- port people with intellectual and develop- mental disabilities whose support needs are severely compounded by physical and/ or medical complications. The $1.5 million grant, with a 25 percent match by Favarh, will allow for the con- struction of the first of two 7,500-square- foot, single-story buildings across the street from Favarh's Canton headquarters on Commerce Drive. The building will be used to provide day activities and community excursions for Favarh's life enrichment program for people with intellectual and developmental dis- abilities, as well as significant physical and medical needs. There are currently 24 people who attend a life enrichment program in Simsbury who will be relocated to this new facility. In addition to relocating the Simsbury program, Favarh will also relocate its trans- portation office from Canton Springs Road to the new building. Favarh's fleet of 70 small buses and vans that provide door-to-door transportation to its clients will be parked on the property. Detailed planning for the new building is getting underway immediately. Construc- tion is expected to take about two years. • • • The Boys & Girls Club of Bristol Fam- ily Center was recently awarded a $12,500 Gateway to Impact Award from the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
