There are 56 projects in Connecticut seeking a share in nearly $950 million. And an ambitious expansion plan for Hartford’s Real Art Ways that has been percolating for years could break ground later this year, with a key piece of financing all but assured to fall into place Friday when the commission that oversees state borrowing is expected to approve $4.5 million for the project. The State Bond Commission will convene Friday to consider funding RAW’s expansion, which is one of a half-dozen projects in Hartford backed by the Capital Region Development Authority. Once projects make it onto the bond commission agenda, they are virtually assured of approval. Will K. Wilkins, RAW’s executive director, said Wednesday the arts organization is in the final stages of raising the last $2 million for the project, which could start construction in the fall.
