   "what_happened": "255 Main St. in Windsor Locks, CT (3.2 acres, 37,000 sq ft GLA) is a former strip shopping center currently under construction as a mixed-use redevelopment. Phase one includes 70 apartments and 2,000 sq ft of retail; phase two adds 50 apartments and 2,000 sq ft retail. Developer Trinity Financial secured $12.1 million in state funding for phase one and $4.8 million in 2023 from DECD Community Investment Funds. Zoning changed to Main Street Overlay Zone. The site is adjacent to the proposed Windsor Locks TOD (0 km away) and is one of several similar redevelopments in the peer list (e.g., Union Square, 8 km away). Status is confirmed as 'under construction' with demolition starting in 2026. Unknown: original mall's opening/closure date, pre-existing structure details, and exact timeline for phase two completion.
