Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3958781, member: 833"] There was a chance to make that move in the mid-90's. The state should have started building up UConn Hartford in the 90's with the goal of eventually moving the main campus there, rather than do UConn 2000 in 1996 (?). I was at an after work event about 18 years ago and was told that several people at the state briefly evaluated doing just that because they could see where Hartford was headed and that the NIMBY problem in eastern Connecticut was not going to get better. It didn't take a crystal ball in 1994 to figure both those things out. There was not a lot of support for something that dramatic, so the proponents dropped the issue. [/QUOTE]
