The Sleeping Giant State Park has been reopened for some time not, but the Federal Emergency Management Agency has awarded the Town of Hamden with just over two million dollars in aid.
The money is for the tornado recovery after a tornado ripped through the area of Hamden by Sleeping Giant State Park in the summer of 2018.
“People are just glad that is it open,” Quinnipiac student Jack Main said. “After it having to be shut down for two years for clean-up and stuff like that.”
The damage from the tornado included many downed trees that fell throughout the various pathways in Sleep Giant Park. The park reopened back in June of 2019.
