Connecticut Port Authority Executive Director Ulysses Hammond, at a board meeting on Tuesday, signaled that the answers should come within “the next few weeks,” as negotiations with the key involved players near an end. He said he expects to call a special meeting of the port authority’s board later this month regarding the price tag of the project, which now stands at $255.5 million. Negotiations on the final cost of construction at State Pier, which have steadily risen from a $93 million estimate in 2019, involve construction project manager Kiewit and offshore wind partners Orsted and Eversource, among others. About 60% of State Pier will switch from construction site to terminal in time for the expected arrival next month of vessels associated with Orsted and Eversource’s South Fork Wind offshore wind project under construction off Long Island.
