The 1.13-acre coliseum site, 275 South Orange St., is currently a parking lot and was awarded $880,000. The funds will be used for site remediation that will enable the construction of a phase of a multi-use development that will include 7,159 square feet of retail space and 120 residential units. The other New Haven site, chosen through the Department of Economic Community Development’s Brownfield Remediation and Development Program is a 1.34-acre site located along the Quinnipiac River at 185, 212 and 213 Front St. The state released a total of $18.8 million grants that will be used for the assessment and remediation of 227 acres of contaminated land across Connecticut. The funding will support 23 properties in 19 towns and cities, helping cover the costs of cleaning up these parcels so they can be redeveloped and returned to productive use, state officials said.
