For years, people went to East Harford to catch a movie on the silver screen; but now, Silver Lane is a spot in town state leaders hope people will come to call.
Silver Lane Plaza tenants in East Hartford expressed their concerns about the possibility of using eminent domain to acquire the long-blighted shopping center during a Redevelopment Agency public hearing Thursday.
A redevelopment plan for Silver Lane, based on a study done by Goman & York, was approved by the Town Council on Aug. 2. The plan focuses on the plaza because of its deteriorating conditions and negative impact on surrounding businesses.
