Study Estimates Up to $333.87M to Redevelop Hartford’s Former Trash-Burning Site

According to the Hartford Business Journal, Hartford’s South Meadows site spans 80 acres and formerly hosted a trash-burning facility operated by the Materials Innovation and Recycling Authority until its closure in 2022. Preparation for redevelopment could cost between $27.87 million and $333.87 million depending on the buildings demolished and intended land use, with residential redevelopment requiring the highest investment due to environmental concerns and moving an Eversource electrical substation. The property’s extensive industrial history and high-voltage infrastructure pose challenges, but cleanup efforts could unlock its potential for housing, commercial, or industrial purposes. Redevelopment plans are contingent on funding, detailed design, and approvals, as the site awaits a transformation aligned with Hartford’s economic goals.
