BRIDGEPORT — In a move that will have a significant future impact on the city’s harbor front, PSEG, owner of the soon-to-be-shuttered coal-fired power plant and its newly-built, gas-run neighbor, is splitting-up the 60-acre property at 1 Atlantic St.
The company in a statement confirmed to Hearst Connecticut Media that the subdivision application, to be heard by the zoning commission April 26, is a precursor to eventually putting the two parcels on the water in the South End up for sale.
