HARTFORD, Conn. -- NBC Sports has agreed to move from New York City to Stamford to take advantage of tax breaks, adding to a growing film and TV presence in the southwestern Connecticut city, a state official said Friday.
The agreement, which could bring hundreds of jobs, would be part of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's signature economic development program, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Malloy and Democratic leaders of the legislature hope to announce a deal next week.
Chris McCloskey, a spokesman for NBC Sports, and a spokeswoman for Malloy declined to comment.
