BRIDGEPORT — Cherry Street Lofts developer Gary Flocco and city officials have brokered at least a temporary truce over the latter’s efforts to demolish blighted buildings intended for the residential complex’s long-delayed next phase. “We’ve come to a settlement,” Flocco said about a Monday morning status conference between the parties and a state Superior Court judge. In September he had filed a lawsuit to thwart the teardown. And Thomas Gaudett, Mayor Joe Ganim’s chief administrative officer, also confirmed a deal had been struck to keep the structures at 62, 72 and 80 Cherry St. and 1325 Railroad Ave. standing and hopefully finally move their renovation forward.
Bridgeport had hired contractor to raze Cherry St. buildings. Now city and developer reach a truce.
