WILL ANYTHING BE LEFT TO RENOVATE AT THE PROPOSED PUBLIC SAFETY COMPLEX?


Last fall I posted about the "new" Hartford Public Safety Complex on High Street.

It seemed that large portions of the structure had collapsed and gaping portions of the brick facade were caving in. I drove by today and saw that the main portion of the facade that was the entrance to the building has also collapsed and the historic entrance is now gone. Large portions of the old brownstone carved entry are laying in a parking lot across the street.

Over the winter months there seems to have been very little progress and even today, there were four cars parked in the contractors parking lot and no one was visible working on the site.

Any bets on when this project will be completed and how much the "over-runs" will total?

Kevin, here's a hint. Why don't you find out who the "project manager" is. If I'm not mistaken it is someone who is overpaid and underqualified who was hand picked by Eddie.

Could the project be Eddie's "candystore" for him and his favorite cronies?

Kevin, follow the hint, but also check to see if the city has any $$ to complete the job. from what I hear they have no $$ to complete the job so the city will have a shell for a very long time.
