Developer of Enfield All Sports Village proposal has complex history

The developer who wants to build a regional tournament center for youth athletic teams in Enfield after unsuccessfully pursuing a similar plan in Windsor Locks has clashed with fellow investors in at least two similar projects in the past. The developer, Andrew Borgia, who has spent the last few years pursuing the All Sports Village proposals in Connecticut, also has filed for personal bankruptcy twice. A 2017 lawsuit against Borgia remains pending in a New York state court. It stems from his efforts to build a sports complex in the southern Long Island community of Islip, New York. Early in the consideration of the Windsor Locks proposal, then-First Selectman Chris Kervick briefly suspended negotiations over the project after news of the lawsuit broke. But, despite the lawsuit, Windsor Locks voters ultimately approved creation of a Tax Increment Financing District for the area of the project by a 969-719 vote in a 2019 referendum.
