West Hartford Business Buzz for Nov. 3: Openings, Closings and Other News
A round-up of West Hartford business news.
Leading off is the following: Election Day is Tuesday. And municipal elections typically draw somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 percent of registered voters, which is as low as it sounds. By way of comparison, last year’s presidential election drew more than 80 percent of people to the polls. Perhaps this doesn’t belong in this feature, but a major part of what makes West Hartford such a great place to do business is the officials, elected and appointed, who make the town attractive to investment.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Muse Paintbar in Blue Back Square is scheduled to officially open on Nov. 8. As reported by Ronni Newton back in July, Muse Paintbar “offers a hands-on artistic experience, but also includes the social attraction of drinks and munchies in a relaxed environment.”
