The unfortunate but not unexpected decision of The Hartford to close its remaining operations in Southington, which, though not a huge factor in real estate taxes, will make a dent in community participation by those employees who leave. On the bright side, Executive Boulevard is a desirable location and should attract new tenants.
A lot of State of Connecticut employees who live in our area are looking at the list of where cuts will be made and where layoffs will strike and are wondering where their names might appear on that list. We hope none of them voted to reject the deal worked out by their leadership and the governor.
