Goodspeed Musicals' dream of building an Artists Village is finally a reality. Seventeen new homes to be used for actor housing on the Goodspeed Campus in East Haddam, Conn. are complete. The new actor housing initiative represents the largest capital project in Goodspeed history with a total budget of $5.5 million dollars all of which were spent in-state. Eighteen contractors and twenty-six suppliers from the state of Connecticut, many located right in Middlesex County, were used for this "green" project. A total of 120 construction jobs and an additional eight Administrative/Managerial jobs were created. A project of this magnitude is certain to have a positive and long lasting economic impact in East Haddam as well as throughout the state of Connecticut.
