🎉 Big day in New Britain! The Ellis Block officially cut the ribbon on the Ellis Street Apartments — a huge win for community, collaboration, and inclusive housing. Governor Lamont and Mayor Stewart shared some inspiring words, and guests got to explore the beautiful new space. Shoutout to Joanne for stealing the show with her big smile and confident introductions to the partners who helped make this possible. We're proud to be part of this milestone! 🏡💙 (fb)
