As plans to revitalize Bridgeport’s East End continue to unfold, local developers will be taking point on the underserved neighborhood’s anchor project. City officials announced Wednesday a shopping plaza will be constructed on the Civic Block site at 1206 Stratford Ave. The $7 million project is slated to bring retail and a long-awaited grocery store to the neighborhood, which has been considered a food desert for decades. “This has absolutely been a long time coming, and we made a concerted effort when we decided to embark on this with the (neighborhood) and the representatives from the East End here that we would try to expedite the process,” said Tom Gill, director of economic development.
