Taco Bell runs for the border… the East Hartford/Glastonbury border.
I’ve been noticing on the minutes and agendas coming through my mail box that a piece of new development appears to be on the way for Putnam Bridge Plaza on the East Hartford/Glastonbury line. In addition to the Arthur Treachers/Roasters Express/Nathan’s combo restaurant accompanying Shop Rite (Soft open on the 23rd! thanks Bill), Home Depot, Pet Smart, TD Bank, Cingular and a variety of other businesses, with even more on the other side of the road, it appears a new Taco Bell is imminent.
I am not exactly sure yet where in the plaza the taco bell will be located. With an application Address of 1 Main Street it would have to be in the right side of the plaza.
My hat is off to the Andreo family, owners of the Putnam Plazas. While it seems we can’t get government backed development in East Hartford that doesn’t include bottom line busting tax exemptions and property giveaways this entrepreneurial family has brought millions of dollars in development to both East Hartford and Glastonbury and improved the quality of life for all of the residents of East Hartford’s south end and Glastonbury’s north end. And all with no incentive but to succeed. Keep it up Andreo family.
The new Taco Bell received the approval of the Design Review Committee on 05/25 and there will be a Public Hearing on the application before the Planning and Zoning commission on June 23rd at 7:30PM in the council chambers. The application appears on the regular agenda for action following the Public Hearing.
