Lamont To Announce Battery Manufacturing Facility In Bridgeport

Attended the event and the comments from dignitaries were generally brief and ever positive, though they did not betray a timetable to raise considerable additional funds, find the land that can accomodate a manufacturing location with likely 200 opportunities for good employment with training as necessary, design and build, then open the plant and begin manufacture. More time, lots more money, and more people contributing muscles and mental power down the “green line of the energy economy”.

And recognize that Bridgeport was selected by the “powers on high” because the conditions of the City geographically, industrially, available and educated workforce, and technical learning centers at University of Bridgeport and more are such as to make us attractive as only one of seven such awards around the US.

Will there be a benefit to the Bridgeport community? Is there a “community benefit agreement” as part of this specific resurgence? Do “community benefit agreements” post a final Executive Summary of how and when they met the expectations at the beginning of the process ever? Who enforces such accountability of process? Time will tell.
