East Hartford to Buy Former Showcase Cinemas Site
Posted on: November 23, 2018 - 11:03am
East Hartford's Town Council approved a plan on November 21st to purchase the site of the former Showcase Cinemas on Silver Lane, visible from I-84. This will help to accelerate plans to redevelop the area, potentially with residential or mixed-use development, and it will remove an eyesore for motorists. The Mayor's Silver Lane Advisory Committee has studied potential future uses for the site, and the Town plans to demolish the former cinema and market the site to developers.
