HARTFORD — Looking for a break from working at home in the pandemic, your office is closed and you need WiFi?

There could be a new option in the next month: outdoor space along downtown Hartford’s Pratt Street corridor.

Blue Haus Group, a Hartford-based real estate and economic development firm, is working to raise $30,000 for a 3-month pilot that would bring free WiFi to the street, beginning in August and running through late October.

Pratt Street was filled with basketball fans before first round NCAA tournament games at XL Center in 2019, in times before social distancing and the coronavirus pandemic.
