Governor Ned Lamont announced Saturday that the State Bond Commission has voted to approve $3.77 million for the next phase of Bridgeport’s Cherry Street Lofts brownfield cleanup project. Investigation, remediation, and abatement of contaminants from the environment is critical for Phase III of the project’s development. These including building much needed supermarket and retail space, which is estimated to create a 250 new, permanent jobs in the neighborhood.
“Supporting and investing in local economic projects has always been a significant part of my agenda,”
Governor Lamont said. “I visited this project and saw firsthand how transformative it could be for Bridgeport. Between the growth of new jobs and the creation of environmentally conscious housing and transit-oriented development – all within a federally designated opportunity zone – this is just the kind of plan that will keep driving and revitalizing our economy.�
“Years ago, I talked about this area being a visual gateway to Bridgeport. This project’s impact on our visual skyline is only matched by the tangible growth felt in the West End. The additional support from the State will go a long way toward continuing that progress. I thank Governor Lamont for helping to advance economic development in the Park City,” said Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim.
The funding will support Phase III and IV of the project.
“Supporting and investing in local economic projects has always been a significant part of my agenda,” Lamont said. “I visited this project and saw firsthand how transformative it could be for Bridgeport. Between the growth of new jobs and the creation of environmentally conscious housing and transit-oriented development – all within a federally designated opportunity zone – this is just the kind of plan that will keep driving and revitalizing our economy.”

Top Story I think people are very excited, said Rachel Kipp. Delaware is definitely a place that has a lot of state pride. I think it s because it s a small state and we all kind of feel like we know each other, and so when something great happens to one of our own, we all really want to celebrate. More Headlines
