The Connecticut Port Authority formalized an agreement with local road salt distributor DRVN Enterprises this week that will keep the company, and its massive pile of salt, at State Pier through the end of the year. The port authority met virtually on Tuesday to approve the agreement that will allow DRVN to remain through Dec. 31 so long as the pile of 90,000 tons of salt is moved closer to the Central Vermont Railroad Pier, or CV Pier, in order to accommodate ongoing site work. The work is being conducted in anticipation of the start of a $157 million project to upgrade and modernize the pier as it is transformed into an offshore wind hub for joint venture partners Ørsted and Eversource. Construction at State Pier is expected to last until 2022 and involve activities that include filling in between the two existing piers to create one larger pier. Ørsted/Eversource will lease the new facility for 10 years with options to extend the lease.
