Have you driven Capitol Ave between Forrest and Laurel recently? Many Hartford commuters and students travel this corridor daily. Until recently, it has been a disheartening mess. Thanks to the efforts of over 100 volunteers, including a group of enthusiastic volunteers from Ikon who came together on September 26, this stretch of Capitol Ave is becoming a Corridor of Hope.
The LGH office is located on the third floor of 30 Laurel Street (the United Way of the Capital Area building)
