The file is a GIS parcel map image (GIS_Parcel_Map_889_Barnum_Ave.jpg) related to a State and Local Contract Opportunity issued by the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, specifically for the Remington Arms Site Redevelopment. The City is seeking proposals from qualified developers for the acquisition and redevelopment of two parcels at 812 and 889 Barnum Avenue, which were previously the site of the Remington Arms Munitions Factory. The Request for Proposals (RFP) includes three potential development sites: 812 Barnum Avenue, 889 Barnum Avenue, and the Remington Shot Tower. Developers can propose to acquire and develop any single site or combination of sites, with a requirement to explain project phasing if multiple sites are proposed.

The City aims to attract proposals that align with Bridgeport's zoning regulations and Plan of Conservation and Development, seeking dynamic commercial, recreational, or clean industrial redevelopment. The primary objectives include providing high-quality jobs, generating economic development opportunities, and maximizing the site's historic and economic potential. The parcels, formerly an iconic industrial complex constructed in 1867 that manufactured military munitions until 1986, have since been acquired by the City and cleared for redevelopment. Respondents must meet municipal, state, and federal practices and requirements, with the ultimate goal of transforming these historic industrial sites into productive, modern development spaces that contribute to Bridgeport's economic revitalization.
