Gov. Ned Lamont announced Tuesday that nearly $7 million in State Bond Commission funding will be used for an apartment complex on the site of the former Showcase Cinemas. A groundbreaking is expected later this year. Lamont said construction is tougher in Connecticut than many other states and the lending market is difficult, but the apartment complex known as Concourse Park and other projects around town mark the beginning of a major revival of East Hartford. New Britain-based Jasko Development, in partnership with West Hartford-based Zelman Real Estate, plans to build as many as 400 units as part of a market-rate, “amenity-rich” complex to be named Concourse Park. Walsh said the apartment developers must have shovels in the ground by the end of September 2023, in keeping with a development agreement for the property.
