Demolition is beginning at a former bank data center on Windsor Street in Hartford’s North End. The building had reportedly sat unused for about 30 years, and city officials described its removal as an opportunity to redevelop the site and improve the surrounding neighborhood.

Hartford officials highlighted recent housing and retail construction in the area and said the project would support broader efforts to remove obsolete infrastructure and create a more livable neighborhood. The event also included remarks from Tim Restall, president of the Hartford Yard Goats, whose Dunkin’ Park is located nearby.
