In the recently completed re-franchising, TCI has provided a “grant” of
$110,000 to CVC for studio construction. We intend to combine this
grant with $70,000 we already have for building construction to “gut”
and refurbish a building (already under lease) in Bolton, CT as a
studio. Bolton is 15 minutes North and East of Hartford on I-384.
The firehouse is a two story building with approximately 2600 sq. ft on
the ground floor and approximately 2000 sq. ft on the upper floor.
Current intent is to remove a 25x25 section of the second floor to
provide studio space. The balance of the building would be used for
edit suites, offices, etc.
A legal notice was placed in the Hartford Courant, and two other papers
in (CT), soliciting letters of interest from parties that might serve as
project managers and might also provide some of the services listed
below. Responses have been sparse.
Can any of the people on this list provide suggestions of individuals
and companies that might be interested in helping us?
The text of the legal notice follows:
