Judge: City Must Pay Additional $3M for Stadium Land

Jason Scott Headshot

The saga surrounding Hartford’s ill-fated minor league baseball stadium continued this week as a Connecticut Superior Court judge ruled Monday that the city paid too little for the land across from the stadium site.

The ruling, handed down by Judge Constance Epstein, means that the cost of the already over budget stadium development project will increase. The city acquired the land through the use of eminent domain, and paid just under $2 million to the land’s former owners, CBV Parking Hartford. Epstein found that appraisers failed to take into account that the land’s proximity to the baseball stadium would increase its value, and ordered the city to pay a total of $4.8 million, raising total costs by nearly $3 million.
