Welcome

Central and the City of New Britain are proud to be considered good neighbors.

We are committed to working with our community in addressing common concerns. We have worked together to improve communication, decrease excessive drinking, and present efforts at local conferences.

The Coalition includes representatives from the City of New Britain, Central, and the Belvedere neighborhood who work together to manage the use of alcohol on-campus and off-campus in surrounding neighborhoods.
