Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin is asking the City Council to approve a $480,000 purchase of Sacred Heart Church at 24 Ely St. in Hartford for a broader redevelopment project.
In his letter to Council President Maly D. Rosado, Bronin said he has already signed a letter of intent to buy the parcel from the Archdiocese of Hartford.
Bronin’s letter doesn’t describe a specific plan for the property, but describes the purchase as “a unique opportunity to pursue a creative adaptive reuse that will enhance the overall vision of the community and neighborhood…”
