Connecticut Port Authority officials said Tuesday that construction work to position State Pier for the South Fork Wind project remains on track for “substantial completion” at the end of this month ― but there are some delays, and Executive Director Ulysses Hammond won’t say yet how much they will cost. Board Chairman David Kooris said the agency is handing over State Pier to port operator Gateway in March, and Northeast Offshore LLC (NEO) will start to utilize the facility in April. NEO is the joint venture of Ørsted and Eversource. Marlin Peterson, construction manager for AECOM, the project’s construction administrator, said the value of work completed on-site to date is about $180 million. The port authority also currently has an operating deficit. But Andrew Lavigne, manager of business development and special projects for the port authority, said the agency anticipated a deficit due to the timing of revenue expected in the next few months. He said until those funds are received, surplus from prior years will fund operations.
