Tobacco plays a big role in the townâs history.
There were once fields and fields of tobacco in Bloomfield and in neighboring towns.
Tobacco started in the late 1800s, but was booming in the 1920s, sitting on thousands of acres.
Bloomfield Town Councilor Joe Merritt moved to town in 1944. In fact, his backyard was once tobacco fields.
âOur house there was surrounded by tobacco fields and in the backyard, there was a tobacco shed, so we got to watch the whole exercise. It was a small tobacco company that rented the land from my father,â Merritt said.
Her says people would come from all over for the work.
Major commercial-industrial landlord INDUS Realty Trust has agreed to sell five properties in Windsor’s Griffin Center for $25.2 million to three separate buyers.
The deal announced Monday includes two office buildings at 5 and 7 Waterside Crossing totaling 161,000 square feet, properties for which INDUS (then called Griffin Industrial Realty) had paused sale efforts last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The sale is expected to close in the third quarter, and Griffin declined to identify the buyer, which has also agreed to purchase Griffin Center’s 21 Griffin Road North, a 46,000-square-foot office property with tenants including TRC and Carousel Technologies, and 25 Griffin Road North, an adjacent undeveloped plot of land on the overall 17-acre Griffin Road North parcel.
