BFJ Planning is currently working with The Town of East Hartford to update its 2014 Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD), which BFJ also prepared. While many of the prior goals and objectives remain relevant, the update will include an in-depth study of the Founders Plaza office complex along the Connecticut River, where a significant mixed-use development had been proposed. The POCD also focuses on the historical Town Center area along Main Street and identifies strategies to revitalize this key business area and better connect it with development activity along the Silver Lane corridor, lower Main Street, and the riverfront.

The year-long POCD update process will be closely coordinated with Town staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission. The engagement program includes four public workshops and other online engagement activities to provide multiple opportunities to build consensus on goals and objectives and test recommendations for the Plan.
