At tonight’s Bridgeport City Council meeting, members will deliberate on a contract for a $7.3 million project at The Bridge Sports Complex. This initiative aims to enhance the facility’s offerings by adding two full-sized multi-purpose synthetic fields and four little league/softball fields, all equipped with state-of-the-art lighting and backstops. Additionally, plans include constructing a restroom and changing facility, along with expanded parking to accommodate increased visitors. (greater-bridgeport.com)
The project is financially supported by a $1.8 million grant from Governor Jim Justice, which complements the city’s existing funds, totaling over $6 million, to cover the project’s expenses. City Manager Pat Ford emphasized that this funding will be allocated exclusively for infrastructure development at The Bridge. (greater-bridgeport.com)
