The Economic Development Administration awarded a $700,000 Project Grant to the Connecticut Metropolitan Council of Governments under the Economic Adjustment Assistance program (CFDA 11.307). The grant will support a redevelopment study for the Bridgeport Harbor Station Unit 3 site in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The study is the first step toward addressing environmental impacts and physical barriers caused by the decommissioned coal-fired power plant. It will also help boost emerging business opportunities in the area and drive economic recovery in Bridgeport in the wake of negative impacts from downturns in the coal economy and the COVID-19 pandemic. Completion of the study will assist the region, which has been highly impacted by recent adverse economic changes.
