Major renovations are coming to the MAT Garage in our downtown!

About a decade ago, when the city was facing the possibility of bankruptcy, it sold off all but one of its parking garages. That decision meant lost revenue for the city and higher parking costs for residents and visitors.

The MAT garage, the last publicly owned parking garage left, has fallen into disrepair over these last 10 years. Now, we’re stepping up to invest in its future and ensuring it continues to serve our downtown for years to come.

In this economy, feeding your family can often be a challenge. That’s why I’m starting a new series highlighting local Hartford businesses with great food deals to help make feeding your family a little more affordable!

First up: Los Dos Carnales Food Truck who offers $2 tacos every Wednesday! They’re located at 439 Capitol Ave, Hartford.

Do you have any recommendations for me to feature in future videos? Comment them below!

Spent some time reading with students at Moylan School!

It was great to see the Horizons at Westminster after-school tutoring program in action! These students show up every week ready to put in the work, learn, and grow.

Thank you to the dedicated Horizons staff for the work they do to support our city’s kids and help them build a strong foundation for the future.

Last week I traveled to Austin, TX with other Mayors from United States Conference of Mayors to share ideas around housing, learn about what Austin is doing to address housing needs, and to use our collective voices to call on the Federal Government to make a big and bold investment in helping our cities fix the housing affordability crisis.
