New convention center intended to re-energize Connecticut
The $271 million Connecticut Convention Center (CCC) opened in Hartford, hosting a local event that drew 550 exhibitors.
With 140,000 square feet of exhibit space, the center is the first completed component of Adriaen’s Landing, a revitalization project on 30 acres of land along the Connecticut River in downtown Hartford.
The project includes plans for a new science center and a 409-room Marriott hotel due to open 1 August, as well as retail and residential properties. The Islamic Circle of North America will hold the CCC’s first major convention next month.
The project ties together popular destinations such as the Connecticut River and the Wadsworth Atheneum.
It’s all part of a comprehensive effort to re-energize Connecticut’s capital city of Hartford and the entire region, according to tourism officials.
The Landing was named after a Dutch man believed to the first visitor to Hartford.
