Connecticut will only attract new business and residents if the state has the workforce housing it “desperately” needs, Gov. Ned Lamont said Tuesday while in the city to help break ground on the on the long promised — and long delayed — 420 apartments at Steelpointe. Ground was finally broken there by the Christophs under Mayor Joe Ganim’s predecessor, Bill Finch, who was in attendance Tuesday, with the Bass Pro Shops retailer being the first building to open in 2015 shortly after Ganim ousted Finch in that year’s Democratic mayoral primary. The nearly $200 million development was partially financed through the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority via a program designed to support housing for middle income residents who wouldn’t qualify for affordable housing as defined by law.
