Construction of Connecticut’s first Jordan’s Furniture has gotten underway in New Haven, Conn., and city and company officials will make it official with a ground-breaking ceremony this morning.
The 11 a.m. ceremony at 40 Sargent Drive, the former home of the New Haven Register, will include New Haven Mayor Toni Harp and Eliot Tatelman, president and chief executive officer of the Massacuhusetts-based chain. Heather Copelas, a spokeswoman, said the New Haven store is expected to open sometime this fall.
The construction of the store will employ 500 construction workers, Copelas said. When Jordan’s Furniture opens, it will employ more than 200 people, she said.
Construction fencing has surrounded the building for weeks now. But it wasn’t until last week that commuters along Interstate 95, which runs right past the 13-acre site, began to notice bulldozers digging up what used to be the parking lots that surrounded the building.
