A Saturday surprise in the House. Conveyance bill includes 103,000 sq. ft. Farmington Avenue building.

The annual state property conveyance bill included a mystery: 92 Farmington Avenue in Hartford.

The building, built in 1943, has 6 floors and a basement. Its 103,000 square feet include 85,000 square feet that is usable by a tenant.

The conveyance, which did not enjoy the benefit of any testimony at a public hearing, is to the Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA). It does not need the space for itself, so something else must be in the works, though no one on the floor of the House during a rare Saturday session seemed to know or was willing to disclose what that may be. Republicans inquiries were not met with a flow of information that would allow elected officials to discharge their duties properly.

Questions are likely to persist.
