New Britain is Changing Its Looks
With the completion of the renovations of the Rio Building, on Main Street, and the refurbishing of the West Main street facility for the illustrator’s apartments. The City’s downtown is starting to look much better when you connect all the changes made on Broad Street. Aka ‘Little Poland”
And link them all together making New Britain a better place to live.
Now the city is being blessed again with a new look about to take place on its Arch street area. Yes; 85 Arch Street, a boarded up three story building, will be razed in order to make room for an Office, retail and apartments structure which will be owned by the Friendship Center of New Britain.
Displacing the Vega building will be a dozen units which will accommodate our city’s homeless people along with some retail businesses in its first level.
Let us all hope that the necessary financing will be all in place for this welcomed change that is about to happen for good of our city.

Kudos to the Mayor, City Council and Commissions for approving all of this and passing important zoning changes to the down town area.
This surely will be an improvement to the Arch Street area, as well as a way to improve the quality of life for the area's homeless. This may be wishful thinking, but let's all hope an end will come for all homelessness.
No one seems to be monitoring the Board of Education and it up coming BUDGET The presentation is Monday night at seven at the regular BOE meeting
As an outsider I wonder what foolish amount the QUEEN will ask the overburned taxpayers to shell out. $ 130,000,000 ? ? ? ?
