A new contractor has been chosen to complete Dunkin Donuts stadium in Hartford, city officials said.
Arch Insurance has selected Whiting Turner as the completion contractor for Dunkin Donuts Park.
According to Whiting Turner's website it has extensive experience building and renovating major sports venues including work done at M&T Bank Stadium where the Baltimore Ravens play and at the Navy-Marine Corps Stadium where Navy plays its home football games.
The mayor of Hartford said there was an agreement with Arch Insurance to complete Dunkin’ Donuts Park in time for the beginning of the Hartford Yard Goats' next season in April 2017.
The park was supposed to be finished by the beginning of the 2016 baseball stadium, in time for the beginning of the Yard Goats inaugural season, but there were delays and the city ultimately fired the developer.
The city of Hartford's investment in the stadium to date is $102 million, according to an internal audit, but the city had not paid the former developer's final invoice at that point and auditors said they could not estimate what the final cost to finish the project will be.
