Map of Community Venues
This is a map of venues in Connecticut that may be available for hosting community events. The initial set of data was provided by the New Haven Network for Civic Engagement, and is not up to date in all instances. Please email us at "info [a/t] ctdatahaven.org" (replacing "[a/t]" with "@") to flag any venue information that needs to be changed or added. We plan to improve this interface and add data over time, with user feedback.
