5T: Woburn Company Buys Up Connecticut Land

Here are five things you need to know today in Woburn:

1) I'll take Hartford for $65 million

Woburn-based company KS Partners has purchased $65 million of land and office buildings in Hartford. The land includes an "eight-building office portfolio" in suburban Hartford (Rocky Hill), according to Commercial Property Executive. The complexes are named Corporate Ridge and I-91 Tech Center.

2) Wakefield lends a hand

While Woburn Pop Warner honored Mr. Allen Fisher, a father of two who died after being struck by a car following a practice, Wakefield Pop Warner also wanted to pay tribute and help the Fisher family. Over last weekend's games, Wakefield parents raised over $1,000 through bake sales. If you would like to contribute to assist Mr. Fisher's wife and two small children, click here.
