  • The Future of Dillon Stadium a Public–Private Partnership
    The Future of Dillon Stadium a Public–Private Partnership REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL #18-001 ATTN: Michael W. Freimuth Capital Region Development Authority 100 Columbus Blvd, Suite 500 Hartford, CT 06103 Introduction Civic Mind is proud to submit our proposal to redevelop Dillon Stadium as a premier community sports and recreation venue and future home to professional sports teams. We seek to build a long-term partnership with the City of Hartford, the Capital Region Development Authority and the people of Greater Hartford to design a transformative, regional asset with an inspiring and robust calendar of programing for our community. Dillon Stadium is uniquely positioned for an innovative development as a public park venue within the Coltsville Historic District. The stadium’s centralized location in our Capital City and convenient proximity and high visibility alongside Interstate 91 and Interstate 84 provides the necessary access to our suburban neighbors to build regional connectivity, purpose and identity. The substantial progress of Colt Gateway and the designation of Coltsville as a national park make the project the next step in this historic neighborhood’s development. The revitalization of Dillon Stadium is an incredible, multi-faceted community development project for Greater Hartford. Our team fully appreciates the integrity and commitment required to successfully deliver on such a pivotal project. More specifically, we understand this endeavor to be comprised of two separate, yet equally important opportunities: 1. The Project Dillon Stadium and Colt Park have extraordinary potential to become a regional and statewide attraction for diverse, multi-generational audiences and user groups. 2. The Process A deliberative and transparent community-driven development process can efectively serve to rebuild trust and confidence between Hartford, its residents and regional stakeholders.

  • Strategic Initiatives-Hartford Athletic
    Dear Representatives of our great State of Connecticut, I write in this letter in support of HB-5145, an act concerning photographic and videographic special effects. Hartford Athletic, a true community-focused professional soccer club started by 3 sons of Hartford, CT, has seen incredible success in its infancy. What makes this club so incredibly special is just how focused it is on “Building our community through the beautiful game.” The beautiful game, referring to soccer, has deep roots throughout communities around the world. What makes the game so special, and almost a religion in hundreds of countries, are the supporter groups who not only cheer on the team through thick and thin, but have documented and quantitative impact on community service. The growth of US soccer in the past 10 years has been nothing short of remarkable, and it is because these supporter groups have taken to the mentality that this is much more than cheering for your sports team and going home. These folks work their tails off outside the stadium alongside our Club and partners to grow the community. Our supporters groups—Hartford The 19’s (Hartford), Mad Hat Massive (Danbury), Elm City Casuals (New Haven), East Side Rising (Lebanon), and more—share those values of community-service and inclusivity no matter what. A large part of supporter culture around the United States, let alone the globe, is the spectacle of smoke devices. Take a look at the picture below depicting the sheer beauty of the rainbow display. Does anything scream diversity and inclusion in sport more than this? I took this job with pride and an eagerness to help this region coming from the City of Detroit.
