The May 12, 2026 meeting of the New London City Council's Education, Parks and Recreation Committee primarily focused on the naming of a new city park at 43 Hempstead Street as the Adam Jackson Black Heritage Memorial Park. The committee reviewed a resolution honoring Adam Jackson, an enslaved man from the early 18th century, recognizing his historical significance and contributions to the community. The resolution was moved forward for a full council vote later that evening. Additionally, the meeting included a brief mention of an upcoming public hearing related to the 2026 Neighborhood Alliance Act Tax Credit Program, a state initiative encouraging business support for local community projects through tax credits. No specific procurement, contract awards, or budget allocations were discussed during this session.
