Connecticut Public Broadcasting celebrates new headquarters
September 29, 2003

Connecticut Public Broadcasting is transforming an Asylum Avenue office building, vacant since 1997, into a $12 million new corporate headquarters. On-hand for the official groundbreaking ceremony (shown bleow) were, from left, Asylum Hill residents Sabrina Flintroy, Ely Enrique and Jennifer Cassidy; Harry Freeman, HEDC executive director; Jerry Franklin, president and CEO, Connecticut Public Broadcasting; Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez; and Coleman Levy, CPB legal counsel.

In addition to the planned renovation of an existing building, Connecticut Public Broadcasting is building in an adjacent lot a 5,600-square-foot building that will house two state-of-the-art television studios. Connecticut Public Broadcasting expects to move into its new facility in August 2004.

Connecticut Public Broadcasting is currently located on the Trinity College campus; Trinity is purchasing that portion of the campus from CPB for $10 million.
