The Connecticut Port Authority on Monday authorized its chairman to secure an agreement with a company that will oversee the estimated $157 million redevelopment of State Pier. The project to create an offshore wind hub is expected to start early next year and finish in 2022. Activity could start before year’s end with demolition and remediation of existing structures and stockpiling of construction materials. The state of Connecticut is redeveloping State Pier into an offshore wind staging area as part of a public-private partnership with Denmark-based Ørsted North America and Eversource. The construction administrator, or owner’s representative, for the New London project is a key element in the upcoming work and will oversee all aspects of the project, a tight timeline being one of the top priorities, said Joe Salvatore, a program manager for the Connecticut Port Authority.
