Greg Bordonaro from the Hartford Business Journal discussed Hartford Healthcare's $950 million expansion, including a 14-story patient tower to alleviate emergency department overcrowding and enhance cancer care. The project also includes renovations and a new parking garage. Trinity College is building a 4,900 sq. ft. Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center, funded by Elizabeth Elting, to boost entrepreneurship.
