Investigation
In February 2018, a series of articles was published by The Day detailing the alleged neglect of historic properties under their care,[1] not following bequest terms,[2] and misuse of funds.[3] As a result, the attorney general's office has begun an investigation, stating: "I can confirm that our office's investigation has expanded to include a comprehensive review of Connecticut Landmarks' processes and performance in complying with charitable restrictions and obligations on assets its holds and manages."[4]
