The state is distributing $23.8 million in grants and loans to clean up and revive former industrial sites in Bristol, Bridgeport, New Haven, Fairfield and other towns. The brownfields remediation funding affects 480 acres on 22 properties in 15 communities, including Bridgeport, New Haven and Bristol, where a shuttered steel plant is targeted for renewal. Meant to boost economic development and job growth, the projects are expected to create about 915 jobs and 811 units of housing, including 223 affordable units, state officials said. In Bristol, a $3.8 million grant will go to clean up four buildings on a 23-acre site at 300 Broad St., formerly home to Theis Precision Steel Manufacturing, state officials said.
