The Future of the Armory

During Spring 2026, the City of New Haven will be launching into the next phase of the Armory’s development with an Adaptive Reuse and Market Feasibility Study. Following years of grassroots community planning, a team of architects, designers, and financial planners are working with community stakeholders to develop a plan for the redevelopment of the Armory. Join us for upcoming community meetings.
