State Investment for Comet Diner

October 21, 2022

New life for the Comet! Thank you to the Asylum Hill community and AHNA for advocating for the renovation of the Comet Diner on Farmington Ave. I was pleased to join Sen Doug McCrory and Mayor Luke Bronin at the celebration of more than $1.2 million to remediate and renovate the vacant landmark..and I want to thank Wayne Benjamin for his vision for the property and the neighborhood. The state investment is part of the newly approved Community Investment Fund 2030 (CIF), designed to spur economic development in underserved communities.
