If you like process, you'll love this story.
Earlier this week, we reported that the city of Hartford's Planning and Zoning Commission had to do a do-over and re-vote on part of the $350 million plan to build a baseball stadium and related development Why? Because it didn't follow state law and give proper notice on an important stadium zoning vote in late October. So, it's voting again.
Now, a second city board, the Hartford Redevelopment Agency, has to re-vote, too.
Earlier this fall, the agency approved a transfer of land to the city for the development. The city hasn't told the agency's chairman why the second vote -- scheduled for Thursday -- is necessary. But here's an issue we pointed out at the time -- the city needed four affirmative votes to transfer the land, and it only got three.
And there's this. Since the original vote, Mayor Pedro Segarra has replaced one of the agency's commissioners -- Sean Arena. At the time, Arena was opposed to the stadium development, He said the city was moving too fast.
The city didn't respond to a request for comment.
