Connective Public Spaces
Ideas and community are developed through and in spaces that welcome, convene, and connect people to each other. We’ve aimed to foster more of these spaces in New Haven by supporting:
Town green district
The Town Green Special Services District enhanced public gathering places downtown through street furniture, public plazas, events, and art on empty walls and in vacant storefront windows.
could be fund
Could Be Fund grants for public spaces supported 7 murals, an underpass lighting installation, four public amenity projects, an outdoor seating patio, and a skate park.
mill river trail
An emerging waterfront walking and biking pathway, the Mill River Trail is planned to run from Criscuolo Park to Blake Field along the western edge of Fair Haven.
The State House
The State House is a multi-purpose event venue dedicated to promoting and expanding culture and creativity in New Haven's 9th Square.
