As a resident of West Hartford and rider of the Connecticut transit bus system I am just another customer hoping that the state grant for a “Grand Central for Hartford County” 1/5/25, Hartford Courant, is successful.
Catching a transfer in downtown Hartford can be at least challenging, especially when it’s raining, snowing, windy and/or cold. It can be downright nasty.
It is great news that the state is considering a grant to solve this age old problem in downtown Hartford. It’s unfortunate that Union Place doesn’t have enough room, however the Capital Community College area is a great alternative. Also, I hope the historic G. Fox bridge can be saved. This hub would without a doubt have a major positive impact on business development in Hartford. I just hope it happens, and soon, like starting this summer. Remember, that’s when baseball season gets rolling, and Dunkin’ Park turned out to be a good deal also.
Go for it, state of Connecticut.
