Energy assistance offered

From the NHR:

Town officials will begin processing applications for the Connecticut Energy Assistance program starting Oct. 15.

The program, which will run through March 15, 2009, provides financial assistance to income eligible households in paying for a portion of their heating cost during the winter months. The Cheshire Youth & Social Services Department is overseeing the processing of the applications.

Applications will be taken by appointment only. Call 271-6690 to set up a time for an appointment.
