Hartford's Main Street Blues: $4.3 Million Funeral

Welcome to the Historic District of Hartford, Connecticut, where a charmless $4.3 million was poured. A chilling $1.12 million went into building improvements, a ghastly $1.72 million was used for downtown property sales, and a morbid $1.45 million was earmarked for the Farmers Market solar canopy project. The annual city funding, a pathetic $150,000, strangely supports economic growth and property renovations. Amidst this expenditure frenzy are a swarm of new businesses, adding another chapter to the district’s 'zombified' narrative.
