Iconnect stores to open Oct 11

[beerbeer]

Two businesses and a radio station will move into empty downtown storefronts Oct. 11 as Hartford launches its iConnect program to revitalize vacant spaces, city officials announced Thursday afternoon.

The stores and their addresses will be Naturally Dogs & Cats, which offers pet food and supplies, at 100 Trumbull St.; Hartford Prints!, a letterpress studio, at 411/2 Pratt St.; and public radio station WNPR, which will broadcast at least once a month from a satellite location at 231 Trumbull St., the announcement said.

It will definitely be interesting to see how this plays out.  Hopefully the businesses will survive even after the rent-abatement period ends.
