Bridgeport mayor Joe Ganim made his first in-person speech to the business community since before the pandemic at the Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater.
He was proud to show off his administration's successful revitalization of a shuttered ballpark into a major concert venue.
Ganim also spoke about plans to build new apartments downtown, an Eastside supermarket complex and construction of a new Bassick High School.
Unmentioned were failed plans to re-open two historic downtown theaters and to build an ice skating rink.
Ganim also ignored Bridgeport’s failure to strike a deal with Park City Wind to build a maintenance facility for its offshore wind projects.
The mayor was very optimistic about the sale of city-owned Sikorsky Airport to the state, but there is doubt about that getting approval from the city council.
