Main Street Matters: March 31, 2023

Town Meeting April 3


Town Meeting April 3


There will be a Town Meeting on Monday, April 3rd at 6:30 pm in the Windsor Town Council chambers to approve the acceptance and expenditure of a $3.2 million State of Connecticut grant to support the redevelopment of the old Arthur’s Plaza in Windsor Center into a dynamic mixed-use project. The development was one of the few winners of the CT Communities Challenge Grant Program, which sought to revitalize underinvested areas around the state. The Town of Windsor is serving as a pass through for the grant proceeds, and no Town funds are being expended on the project. Come out and show your support for this exciting project!
