NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) City officials have been ordered to return up to $49,000 to New London's Community Development Block Grant account after two nonprofit groups with ties to the mayor and deputy mayor received money from the program.
The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development determined there was a conflict of interest when the city council awarded $30,000 to Kente Enterprises and $19,000 to New London Adult and Continuing Education with funds from the block grant account early this year."
