Any news about Steelepointe these days is good for the city of Bridgeport. I will be more impressed when the Steelepointe developers take a full page ad in the Connecticut post and New York Times touting the new 1 billion dollar project. Imagine, Stamford has taken Steelepointe’s original name and brought it to fruition, “Harborpointe”. I am pleased to see the announcement and hope this project moves forward with serious development. If it starts with a Walmart I can assure you I will teach the city of Bridgeport what a marketing campaign will do. G-d help us if a shovel goes in the ground for a big box , low paying retailer. I do give kudos to the mayor for thinking green.
A word to Zena Lu- iF DIRT IS worth celebrating than lets do it! A word to city hall smoker- Mayor Mary C. Moran got in by winning a primary from a very popular former Republican Mayor, Leonard Paoletta. With the support of a group of youthful supporters known as the New Republican voice, a group that knew how to excite volunteers and keep them coming to a “party” and most importantly, Moran ran against Thomas Bucci whose admministration at the time was falling apart. A Republican in Bridgeport never wins an election, the Democrat looses. Finch is not that awful and that is why he is still in office. The people were just lazy and were not that disappointed with the way things are. I still believe Mary-Jane Foster will make an excellent Mayor. She needs to stay engaged and be seen. I remember Joe Ganim as well as Chris Caruso showing up at every important meeting to make their presence known. I will not be one of those disgrunteled political hacks that will undermine the current administration. I still say Eversley has got to go and the city could do with a few cheerleaders. The Seaview Avenue embarrassment last week was painful for all of Bridgeport. Lets hope we can get the development project off the ground in the South end by the University of Bridgeport that will compelement the neighborhood and school and put a high speed ferry there. May Steelepoint finally become a reality. And hope all of the Foster supporters always support the positive things going on in the city and not feel they need to go to another party unless they feel it will improve the city. At this moment I do not and hope the Finch administration stays focused on development as it the only thing that will help lower taxes. It takes a long time for these edifices to generate any tax revenues so we will all most likely suffer for a few more years. I have met alot of incredible people during the Foster campaign and gratful I am still friends with those that were part of the Finch campaign. When a campaign ends you mend fences and put the past behind you. We will stay in touch and all together strive to make the city of Bridgeport a great place.
