From the CT Post
The revitalization of downtown Bridgeport received a significant boost Friday with word that Darien Rowayton Bank has signed a six-year lease at 855 Main St., across from the headquarters of People’s United Bank.
The nearly 12,000-square-foot space is owned by Main Street Ventures, a joint venture of Forstone Capital and Spinnaker Real Estate Partners. The 100,000-square-foot building has undergone extensive renovations to the lobby, common areas and parking garage and recently completed an overhaul of its mechanical system and installation of new energy efficient windows.

Great news!!!
Good news but frankly I don’t get it. Is this going to be a branch of Darien Rowayton Bank or will it be support staff? if it’s a branch, where are the demographics?
Get this: if you’re reading this blog, you’re part of their demographics.

Realistically, I am not going to Downtown Bridgeport to do my banking when I can do MOST of my banking online. I need more information about this business coming to Downtown Bridgeport. We “celebrate” Darien Bank coming to Downtown Bridgeport but we have also learned about the closing of the Bijou Theatre. Which is better or which is worse???
What is the impact on our tax base and the employment opportunities for people who live in Bridgeport?
