Mayor Joe Ganim’s administration is seeking $25 million from the state to purchase — or, if it comes to it, seize through eminent domain — and demolish the PSEG-owned facility at 1 Atlantic St. in the South End. Those unfamiliar with the massive industrial harborfront property will likely at least recognize its red and white striped smokestack that has become a landmark visible from I-95, the Metro-North train line and Long Island Sound. Earlier this summer the city submitted its application for $25 million from the highly competitive Community Investment Fund. The legislature established that pot of money and process in 2021 to target dollars specifically for projects/needs in under-served and marginalized Connecticut communities.
