Ongoing blight concerns in Hartford will be discussed Wednesday at a town hall meeting.
Walk through Hartford and you’ll find vacant homes with windows boarded up and grass overgrown.
In February, Mayor Luke Bronin proposed stricter rules for the city’s “anti-blight” ordinance.
The rules he proposed would have prohibited leaving trash on the properties, leaving windows or doors boarded for more than a year, and letting grass grow more than a foot tall.
Violations would have resulted in a $100 dollar fine, per violation, per day.
These blighted and neglected properties that have become eyesores across the city will be discussed Wednesday night at a town hall meeting. It starts at 6 p.m. at the Parker Memorial Community Center, located in the 2600-block of Main Street.
