The Hartford Planning & Zoning Commission has approved a $280 million expansion plan that will reshape Connecticut Children’s Hartford campus – but without a pedestrian bridge and garage. Connecticut Children’s had submitted a master plan that called for, among other things, the hospital to be connected to a structured parking garage across Washington Street. The master plan noted that the pedestrian bridge/walkway would be owned and operated by a third party and be part of an independent permit application process at a later date. Officials said the hope is that construction could begin in April 2023 and that the new tower could be completed by the end of 2025. Connecticut Children’s said it plans to pay for the expansion by utilizing a number of different funding opportunities including philanthropy and structured loans.
