Haynes Development breaks ground on Connecticut Health and Wellness Center
North Branford, CT Haynes Development has broken ground on their latest project, the Connecticut Health and Wellness Center. Featuring two buildings of dedicated medical space, the 48,000 s/f center will be a critical addition to the Shoreline with the specific purpose of supporting the community’s health and wellness needs.
The primary tenant, BHcare, provides comprehensive behavioral health, prevention and domestic violence services that improve the lives and health of the individuals, families, and communities it serves. BHcare is taking 36,000 s/f.
A recent groundbreaking ceremony included Roberta Cook, president/CEO Bhcare; DMHAS commissioner, Nancy Navaretta; house republican leader Vincent Candelora; state senator Christine Cohen; mayor Jeffrey MacMillen; Michael Gulish, chair, BHcare board of directors; and Tom Haynes, president/CEO Haynes Development.
Cook said, “As we break ground for our new Shoreline location, we are not only constructing a new facility; we are building hope, healing, and a brighter future for countless individuals who will benefit from the services offered here.”
“The work that BHcare does in helping the community is in line with Haynes’ philosophy of Making People’s Lives Better and The World a Better Place,” said Tom Haynes, owner of Haynes Development. “We have a long and lasting relationship with BHcare and literally started our agreement on a handshake.”
With construction kicking off, the Connecticut Health and Wellness Center will see occupancy in June, 2024. Haynes Development is excited to support the great work BHcare does alongside other health and wellness service providers who are operating in the Shoreline area.
