Grava Properties, founded by Windsor resident Greg Vaca, will be spearheading the project, which will replace the existing Windsor Center Plaza. Vaca, alongside state and local leaders, broke ground on the development Wednesday. The project, known as Founders Square, will be funded with the help of Community Investment Funding, which is also funding the Wilson Park on the south side of town. Currently, Windsor Center Plaza is separated from the sidewalk by a sprawling parking lot. In the new plans, the retail and housing spaces will be brought up to the curb with parking behind. Gov. Ned Lamont attended the groundbreaking, along with dozens of residents gathered in the parking lot of the plaza. He said the $3.2 million grant for the project was “easy for us.” The project will take place in two phases expected to take four years total, Vaca said. The construction will be led by Torrington-based PAC Group LLC.
