Yesterday was our final board meeting at 30 Laurel Street. This building has served countless nonprofits and community groups since United Way purchased it in 1993. It is a beautiful space and really intended to be residential at this point in its history. I'm excited for its future residents and the Parkville community. #commercialrealestate #housing

Ending the fiscal year on a high note ……………………………………………… In a statement provided on Wednesday, Harrison said “We are excited and pleased with the final sale of our building. It is a beautiful space and really intended to be residential at this point in its history. I'm excited for its future residents and the Parkville community. We will soon be able to share some news about our new home in Hartford, but in the meantime we are excited to have increased capacity to support community impact in the 860 region."

More than 13,000 tax filers received free tax preparation and filing services from hundreds of IRS-certified volunteer tax preparers, resulting in nearly $28 million in refunds and credits being returned to Connecticut communities thanks to the 2023 Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) campaign. https://lnkd.in/eEPKPgqf The Village for Families & Children | HRA of New Britain
