Chinese Buyer Eyes UConn Property in West Hartford
The proposed project calls for the building of a new high school at the site.
The Weiming Education Group from China is reportedly interested in buying a soon-to-be vacant UConn property in West Hartford to build an international high school.
The Hartford Courant writes that the group is interested in buying the 58-acre parcel located at Lawler Road, Trout Brook Drive and Asylum Avenue for an as-yet unknown price.
Weiming currently operates more than 40 K-12 schools, and if this plan moves forward it would be the company’s first international school in the United States.
