What shapes a project in Bridgeport
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
About 40% built before 1940
Bridgeport's 2023 Affordable Housing Plan says about 40% of the city's housing was built before 1940 and would benefit from energy-saving, cost-saving upgrades.
Flood exposure in the South End
The same plan says past storms showed the South End is vulnerable to catastrophic flooding and that much of its undeveloped land is in the flood plain. It notes that elevating the site or the building is one design approach for new construction there.
Mostly mid-century or older
State health department figures drawn from the 2000 Census show 66.2% of Bridgeport's housing stock was built before 1960. Lead-safe work practices apply to paid renovation in homes built before 1978.
