The Hartford Planning and Zoning Commission Tuesday night unanimously approved plans to convert a downtown synagogue into an events space.
During its meeting, the PZC approved a slew of special permits for Hartford lawyer Jose L. Del Castillo to open a drinking and entertainment assembly place, including an outdoor cafe with a bar, at a former synagogue located at 215 Pearl St.
According to plans, Del Castillo wants to target private and community gatherings, including weddings, birthdays and anniversary parties, for the space.
