www.HartfordBusiness.com February 27, 2017 • Hartford Business Journal 7 WHAT'S AHEAD: ■ 3/6 Focus: Real Estate ■ The List: Residential Mortgage Lenders/Sales ■ Nonprofit Profile: Hartford Community Loan Fund CALENDAR THURSDAY, MARCH 2 Sexual Harassment Prevention Training The Connecticut Business and Industry Association is hosting a training seminar on sexual harassment, Thursday, March 2, at the Inn at Middletown, 70 Main St., Middletown. In Connecticut, if you employ 50 or more people, your company must provide sexual harassment prevention training for managers and supervisors. CBIA's three-hour workshop includes discussion on prevention strategies related to inappropriate workplace behavior other than conduct of a sexual nature. Disrespectful or harassing behavior related to an employee's age, religion, race, or medical history — and even mere use of vulgarities — are increasingly just as likely to land an employer in court. The event runs from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Cost to attend is: $143.57 for CBIA members; $223.24 for nonmembers.

Connecticut Realtors said 2,307 single-family dwellings under- went closing last month vs. 2,020 sold in Jan. 2016. Median price for those sold houses was $235,000, a 2.2 per- cent gain from the year-earlier median, the group said. Townhome/condominium sales also grew in January but at a slower pace. There were 579 attached housing units sold last month vs. 468 sold a year earlier. Median price for those units was $155,000, a 4 percent gain from a year earlier. Meantime, the Greater Hartford Association of Realtors report- ed area housing sales also started 2017 strong in January, rising 23 percent from a year earlier. ConnectiCare's Farmington home for sale at $18.85M One of two Farm- ington office buildings housing health-plan provider ConnectiCare's corporate headquarters is for sale at $18.85 million, brokers say. The building at 175 Scott Swamp Road has 64,518 square feet of Class A office space, according to listing broker Marcus & Millichap.
