 Former Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez hoped to attract new merchants looking to expand their businesses into Hartford and in 2005, plans were first floated to spend $64 million on a project at the intersection of Park Street and Main Street.Original plans included two luxury condo towers, some retail, and a massive main square—or Plaza Mayor, as it came to be known.The plan later got smaller in size, and was eventually shelved entirely during the Great Recession.
