The Capital Region Development Authority the quasi-public agency responsible for helping finance major downtown Hartford apartment projects has a full plate on its hands.
It recently unveiled a $107.2-million plan to renovate the aging XL Center and is negotiating with Los Angeles-based sports and live entertainment company Oak View Group to help fund the much-needed investment as part of a public-private partnership.
A ship’s bell that once rang out from the USS Hartford, the flagship of famous Civil War Rear Admiral David G. Farragut, sits in a lonely corner of Hartford’s Constitution Plaza office park, gathering tarnish in a granite base that is falling apart.
