SOUTH WINDSOR — Warehouses are sprouting on Connecticut farmland where tobacco once grew, giving the state bragging rights to a retail economy transformed by digital technology, advanced logistics and the coronavirus pandemic.
In South Windsor on a recent weekday, an 18-wheeler heads to a Coca Cola sales center on Ellington Road where a Home Depot Distribution Center operates across the street and construction workers build a third warehouse nearby.
