Apr. 12—NORWICH — President Biden had just signed the massive federal infrastructure law in November 2021, when officials from Norwich Public Utilities knocked on U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney's door to ask how to apply for funds to replace the city's century-old natural gas lines. "The ink was barely dry on the law," Courtney said Wednesday at a news conference to announce that NPU was among 37 inaugural recipients of the highly competitive Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration grants.
