Burkentine, the developer of Station 280, and the Farmington Valley YMCA celebrated the 8:30 a.m. start of the Granby Road Race with a $5,000 sponsorship check presentation to Brian Liss, executive director of the Farmington Valley YMCA.
“We are looking forward to becoming part of Granby with our new luxury apartment community, Station 280, and couldn’t think of a better way to begin supporting the town and residents than by sponsoring the Farmington Valley YMCA’s 51st Granby Road Race,” said Mike Burkentine, owner and VP of sales and business development. “And being here today to witness the excitement and passion for this community-focused event, we committed to remaining lead sponsor through at least 2024.”
“This community event helps support the YMCA’s Annual Support Campaign which provides financial assistance to those who need the YMCA and its services,” commented Brian Liss, executive director of the Farmington Valley YMCA. “We are grateful for the support of Burkentine. As the lead sponsor of the race, they are providing support to our neighbors in need.”
Station 280 will be located at 280 Salmon Brook Street (Route 10)—just north of downtown. The community will include 235 luxury garden-style apartments with spacious 1, 2 and 3-bedroom floorplans and feature kitchens with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. This community, architecturally designed to be complementary to New England’s colonial heritage, will also feature grand amenities including an outdoor pool, club house, fitness center, fire pit seating, dog park and community bike racks.
