West Hartford’s planning to build a new visitor center with public restrooms right on town hall campus — a major step toward better community access and convenience. With a $600K state grant already secured, the project aims to serve shoppers, event-goers, and everyday residents near South Main Street and Blue Back Square. Town leaders say it’s long overdue, especially for big gatherings like farmers markets and West Hartford Pride, and will send a powerful message of welcome. Details like restroom hours and design are still being worked out, but this initiative is poised to transform how people experience the heart of town.
