Bridgeport looks to new school improvements as it closes in on new Bassick site

City officials are getting close to a deal that would put a new Bassick High School on the former Harvey Hubbell property on State Street. The new $115 million project — $90 million of which will come from the state — was to be built on the current Fairfield Avenue property but issues arose with destroying the 1929 portion of the structure and where to put Bassick students during construction. Busing Bassick students across the city to the former Harding High School was an idea that was universally panned. Ganim said a yet-to-be-formed task force will create a road map for improving the school district’s existing facilities by commissioning a study and then prioritizing what needs to be done.
