Press Release:
(June 4, 2007)— The City of Hartford and the MetroHartford Alliance will present the third and final phase of the Hartford 2010 initiative — the blueprint to sustain the Capital City’s unprecedented growth and revitalization. This press and community event will take place tomorrow, June 5th at 11:00 a.m. in City Council Chambers on the second floor of City Hall, 550 Main Street in Downtown Hartford. Mayor Eddie Perez, Oz Griebel, president and CEO, MetroHartford Alliance, Andy Bessette, chairman of the board of the MetroHartford Alliance, and Ken Greenberg of CBT Architects will take part in this presentation. A presentation for the community only will also take place tomorrow at 7:00pm at the Hartford Public Library, 500 Main Street, Hartford, with Griebel and John Palmieri from the City of Hartford. Future neighborhood rollouts will also be scheduled to answer any additional questions.
Hartford 2010 is “The Framework” that will build on the considerable accomplishments of the past five years by the City and the Alliance and is designed to attract additional private investment in the City to make the region more competitive in the global economy while providing a great place to live, work, and play for residents and visitors alike. The framework reflects the entire community’s vision for a dynamic, livable, healthy, and economically vibrant Capital City. It successfully builds on Hartford’s natural, economic, cultural, social and physical assets that include its compact Downtown, relationship to the Connecticut River, major educational institutions, transportation infrastructure, key employment concentrations, and energetic residential neighborhoods.
I’d be interested to hear from anyone who decides to go to this.
