Spotlight on Main Street
Windsor’s historic downtown is brimming with possibility. Conveniently situated between Hartford, CT and Springfield, MA, residents enjoy easy access to public transportation and commuter rails. Many development projects are underway in Windsor, with entertainment venues and residential buildings bringing new life to the center. A visit to Windsor’s downtown might entail a walk on the Windsor Center River Trail, a paved 1 mile loop trail connecting downtown and the historic district alongside the Connecticut River; experiencing the growing arts scene with a visit to Windsor Arts Center; or attending one of Windsor’s many community events on the green.
Our Spotlight on Main Street event introduced downtown professionals, economic development officials, and municipal leaders from across the state to this historic, walkable district. This event included:
