Mayor Mark Lauretti, in a letter to state officials dated Aug. 28, agreed to purchase 23,800 square feet of state-owned land on Bridgeport Ave. that is essential to connecting the Constitution Boulevard extension to Bridgeport Avenue. The city will be purchasing the land for $876,000, which includes a $1,000 administrative fee. The project was supposed to begin in earnest this past spring, but city officials have been waiting on the lengthy process of completing the land transfer. Phase Two roadway work has begun which enables access to the Mas property, a landlocked 70-acre parcel that the city has agreed to sell portions of to various companies. The State Bond Commission, earlier this year, approved $1.6 million to support what will be Phase Two of the road’s extension. Phase Two is the roadway work through the Mas property.
