The state Bond Commission will meet on Friday to vote on a series of allocations for projects in northeastern and north-central Connecticut, including a $10 million allocation to begin the revitalization of Enfield Square. The funding would jump start the ambitious $250 million proposal to redevelop the Enfield Square mall into a mixed-use property complete with a variety of retail, recreational, and residential units. Last month, CIF board members praised the proposed project, dubbed Enfield Marketplace, saying it could be transformative for the region and the state as the outdated indoor mall model is dying. Other CIF funding to be considered is more than $1.2 million for renovations to River Street School in Windsor, and $250,000 for Park Hill in East Windsor. A total of $19 million for grants and improvements to various magnet schools will also be considered, funding that would help pay for roof repairs, boiler replacements, and HVAC upgrades, among other projects.
