A bar entertainment businessman is taking aim at a new adventure, bringing combat archery, or “dodge bow,” games to Windsor.
Robert Goldberg, owner of Hartford-based Bar Rated Entertainment, started the subsidiary Arrow Dodge, and was granted a special town permit to conduct outdoor games at Fastpitch Nation on Day Hill Road in Windsor this summer.
Arrow Dodge is a combination of three sports – dodgeball, paintball and archery – where participants form teams and shoot at opponents with large foam-tip arrows using a bow.
The Hartford Financial Services Group said Wednesday it will consolidate hundreds of employees from its Windsor campus to its downtown Hartford headquarters later this year.
Two industrially zoned properties in Windsor hosting office buildings and having a combined size of 13.7 acres recently sold for $1.2 million.
That is far under the value placed on the properties by the town’s assessor.
The Real Group II LLC, of Windsor, sold the 415 and 425 Day Hill Road properties to Day Hill Road LLC, in a $1.2 million deal logged by the town April 28, according to town records.
Missouri-based NorthPoint Development is pressing forward with a speculative effort to build a nearly 750,000-square-foot distribution center inside Windsor’s Great Pond Village mixed-use development.
NorthPoint was originally slated to team up with Great Pond master developer Winstanley Enterprises to build a massive distribution hub for pet products giant Chewy. After Chewy backed away from the deal earlier this year, NorthPoint decided to press ahead independently and build a distribution center on a speculative basis.
Pet products retail Chewy may not be coming to a new mega-warehouse in Windsor after all, but a developer still plans to construct the 750,000-square-foot building and seek different tenants.
